[TWIAR] RSGB: UK 'Fivemegs' Stations Heard in ZL

UK 'Fivemegs' Stations Heard in ZL
Nearly at the other end of the spectrum, Peter, G3MLO, and Jack, MW0AQD,
were taking part in the 'Fivemegs Experiment' and were in contact on
5398.5kHz at 0550UTC on the 30th of August. Afterwards, Peter received a
reception report from Jim Robertson, ZL2JR, saying that their signals had
been copied in New Zealand.

MW0AQD was received at '4 and 4' while G3MLO was copied at
'5 and 4'. While the 'Fivemegs Experiment' is intended to investigate NVIS
propagation within the UK, the contact was made shortly after sunrise in
Britain and around sunset in New Zealand, which is the time that
long-distance 'greyline' propagation can be expected to occur.
