Europe DX has been real strong on 11 meters last few months. 27.555 upper side band. Talked to Germany, Spain ,France, Ireland, Netherlands, England, between 7-11 am. And we're not even at the peak of the cycle yet.
@@electromechanicalstuff2602 Kinda. Both can be used through repeaters but it's in conjunction with the internet. So you key up a repeater and that transmission is sent over the internet to a local repeater wherever you wana make contact. Echolink can be used just from your cell phone and have no repeaters at all. DMR can use a specialized hotspot at your home to then connect to anywhere around the world. All pretty cool stuff, but still doesn't beat natural propagation.
So clear! Love it when propagation is so clear!
Only time I’ve gotten that far is on DMR or echolink, but that’s cheating…
Through a network of repeaters then right?
