Also no mention of the TWO QSOs that Finbar GI4DPE had with Bob WE2XGR/6 and
that is more than 100 miles further than the WE2XGR/2 and GI4DPE QSO.

> * 500 kHz Experiment Charting New Territory: The evening of November
> 13 saw the first transatlantic contact on 500 kHz between amateur
> experimental stations. US experimental station WE2XGR/2 (Jay
> Rusgrove, W1VD, in Connecticut) and GI4DPE (Finbar O'Connor, EI0CF,
> in Northern Ireland) communicated by standard-speed CW for about 15
> minutes. On that same night, US experimental stations WD2XSH/12 (Mike
> Mussler, AI8Z, in Colorado) and WD2XSH/20 (Rudy Severns, N6LF, in
> Oregon) made the first contact in the western half of the USA. Two
> days later, WE2XGR/2 and GI4DPE repeated their feat and WD2XSH/12 had
> contacts with WD2XSH/6 (Pat Hamel, W5THT, in Mississippi) and
> WD2XSH/13 (John Oehlenschlager, K0JO, in Minnesota). The ARRL 500 kHz
> experimental license, WD2XSH, was issued in September 2006 and has 19
> active stations. Fritz Raab, W1FR, of Vermont, serves as experimental
> project manager for The 500 KC Experimental Group for Amateur Radio
