136kHz Transatlantic Challenge
The LF Transatlantic Challenge is a memorial to the late Peter Bobek, DJ8WL/DA0LF, for his work on 160m and 136kHz. The DARC, AMRAD and RSGB are collectively sponsoring the Challenge. Two pairs of trophies are to be awarded one for each of the pair of amateur stations who make the first confirmed 2-way LF Transatlantic QSO on the 136kHz amateur allocation. Awards will also be issued for reception and distance records.
