I think a good DX was with AJ9K via FO-29 in May 19th 2005 at 23;20 UTC from my mobile station: EN53 to IM78 = 4157 miles (6690 Kilometers)
You can see my FO-29 mobile station here: http://miguel.servihosting.com/eb4dka/mobile.htm

Dear friends,
here is my best LEO contacts made by using no elevation on 2 yagi antennas. Antennas used:
12 el. 3wl for Vhf H pol. 21 el. 6wl for Uhf H pol.
IZ1EGT (JN44LK) -> VA3DB (FN25DI) 03/01/2005 FO29 J CW qrb 6343 km.
Sincerely I found that elevation is not needed on Vhf while it increases drastically sigs in Uhf.
Best 73s Fabio
IZ1EGT / F5VKV
