Hi Matej

 

For your World records list.  On 8 January 2016 at 1130 UTC VK6DZ and I extended our 10 GHz Terrestrial World Record to 2793.4 km using firstly JT4f and then JT65a when we found the spreading was very narrow sufficiently so to use JT65a.  Reports exchanged were -16 and -13 dB. Signals were decodable for around 4 hours and gradually faded but still copied on JT65a down to -30 dB.  I was in the same location at Cape Portland as for the previous World Record and Derek VK6DZ more some 61 km further West to Peaceful Bay.

Signals were too weak for SSB.
