Tropospheric Propagation (F6APE) F6APE in France who I worked on 12/09/00. This was over a distance of almost 1000kms and he was 59 for hours !! Under normal flat conditions I would not hear any signals from France.
Sporadic E (Tune across 2m band) Italian stations who I worked on 7/07/01. Most of the stations worked were over 1900kms away and were 59+ Here's what it sounded like when I tuned the radio across the 2m band. More activity than usual !!
Meteor Scatter(DH3IAJ) DH3IAJ in Germany who I worked on 12/08/00. He was 1400kms away and 59 for about 20 seconds during the burst. This was a random meteor scatter contact on 144.200 during the peak of the Perseids Meteor Shower.
High Speed CW Meteor Scatter(SM7JUQ) SM7JUQ in Sweden who I worked on 12/08/00. This was a Scheduled meteor scatter contact arranged in advance by e-mail. We used very fast morse code 4000lpm (800WPM). When we recorded each other we then slowed it down using a PC and increased the tone. I use WinMSDSP software by 9A4GL. (SM7JUQ at 800WPM)
Aurora(GM4VVX) GM4VVX in Scotland who I worked on 14/10/00 His signal was quite weak into IO53 but you can hear the distinct auroral tone. The auroral distortion makes CW sound like bursts of static !!!
