What modeVK3ZAZ wrote: quote="VK2KRR"]Not sure where we got up to with tracking these super long paths on 2m WSPR.
But in any case, looks like Chris N3IZN in California is having a good time atm with a tropo path to Wil KH6IMB over at Hawaii @ 4061 km
Some of the data here -

Looks like nothing real strong there yet for Chris & Wil, but good to see in any case.
No doubt the other Californians are trying to get through also.
When I find out the equipment at each end I will update the post, or perhaps Chris may see this.
Smashed my 2m WSPR world record by about 1000 km
SUMMER ES?
or TROPO
cant conclude much from one series of reports IMO
it might be location location, where are all the other myriads of W6s who live and populate 2M band
likes of K6MYC Friant with four stack EME yagis etc etc.
Too little information to draw any conclusions IMO
KH6IMB might be at sea level then he also might be at the HMB beacon site on the mountain.
432 would be really exciting.
The 2M W6 KH6 path has existed for decades[/quote]
http://www.ok2kkw.com/kh6ku/ok1vr58eng.htm for a bit of the history.
From the duration of the event, troppo seems very much more likely. And you're right about HASL too Steve, many times I've experience being locked out of ducts because I was too high or too low. The W6 - KH6 path is known to experience the same.
The path has been worked on all bands up to 5760Mhz.
