Pipe, CE3SX / CE3SAD in Chile writes to say that he managed to hear two FM
radio stations on 89.9 MHz and 96.1 MHz from Jamaica during a TEP opening
recently.
CE3SX writes... "Stylz FM 96.1 from Port Antonio and KLAS 89.9 from
Kingston, Jamaica heard in Chicureo, Santiago, Chile FF46pr Via
Trans-Equatorial Propagation
>Date: January 31 and February 01, 2022. Hours: 21.46CEv 00.46 UTC and
22.03CEv 01.03 UTC
Maximum distance: 5,755 km"
As Pipe outlines, the distance is around 5,700kms and is approaching the
maximum distance usually associated with Trans-Equatorial Propagation.
A video clip of the reception is shown below...
Pipe also notes that regular reception TEP signals on the 88-108 MHz band
from Columbia and he is using a 7-element Band 2 Yagi as designed by YU7EF.
CE3SX also notes that there are no 144 MHz stations in Columbia (HK) and
Jamaica (6Y) to try on the 2m band.
As I outlined in a recent post, there are parallel paths from Brazil and
Argentina to the Caribbean on 144 MHz during TEP openings and it's likely
that similar paths are there further east from Chile to Columbia, Jamaica
and Cuba on 2m.Links...
1) For more examples of long distance reception reports on 88-108 MHz band,
see my Band 2 page.
