CM6YJR Cuba Ham Radio Station: DX Connection to W4KWS Key West on 145.320 | Epic Ham Radio DX!

Join us as we explore the incredible ham radio contact between CM6YJR in Cuba and W4KWS in Key West, Florida, operating on 145.320 MHz. This contact spans approximately 90 miles (145 kilometers) across open water, making it an exciting example of VHF propagation over relatively long distances.
Line-of-Sight Propagation: Overwater paths like this benefit from minimal obstructions, allowing VHF signals to travel farther than on land.
Tropo Enhancement: With clear skies and warm air over the ocean, tropospheric ducting may have played a role, helping the signal propagate beyond the typical horizon.
This connection highlights the power of amateur radio and its ability to bridge distances, even with relatively low power on VHF. Whether you're a seasoned ham or new to the hobby, this video showcases how preparation, conditions, and a little propagation magic can create unforgettable QSOs.
