I am about to release a streaming Internet radio app (Pentode) and I thought it was cool to be able to listen to FM stations far away - but when I read this I realise what really WAS cool.
Ham radio operators are still waiting for a full direct transatlantic QSO (=confirmed both-ways radio contact) on 2m/144MHz.
Beacon stations are on both sides and they are blasting with a lot of power for quite a while now. But far away from the x kilowatt powers radio stations are using.
