Amateur Radio Contact, Grey Line Propagation, Transequatorial … 10 Meters - Argentia

http://www.qrz.com/db/lu5ft - contact on 10 meters 28.390 Mhz.

We just had sunset here in S. Florida … The Grey Line is interesting … this contact is Transequatorial as well and around 4265.0 mi. If you take the azimuth (direction or bearing) and distance and swing that over across the United States it would reach way west into the Pacific Ocean and almost to Hawaii. So CORREA (SF) Argentina is a pretty good contact. Similarly going east this distance would get us into Africa or well on the way to entering the Mediterranean Sea areas.

Also just worked KE6TT in Highland, California on 17 Meters - 18.136 Mhz … near San Bernardino.

Notice the line between daylight and darkness runs through South Florida and also through the contacts location in Argentina

And the conact is Transequatorial because it passes over the equator
