Hi, all,

Browsing thru some old 160m info I have, I came across an interesting
(but old) statistic for the longest-distance QSO on 160m.  It was held by
G6GM and ZL3GQ when they QSOed in 1955 on 160m for a distance of 11940
statute miles (19220 km) on direct (short) path.  To the best of my
knowledge, that record stood at least until I 'temporarily' QRTed for 12
years in 1984.

I imagine that the record has been beaten by now.  Any claimants? 
Perhaps some long path QSOs?

73, DX, de Earl, K6SE
