Today via AO-91 I had the privilege of working KB2YSI, Don for his first transatlantic QSO and W2GIO.
As Don said on twitter it sounded like simplex.
AO-91 and to a lesser degree AO-92 have some great later afternoon passes (UK time) for the USA and Canada (east coast) and most of the time there is no one on them.
Quite often there are Europeans calling for the “DX”
So please be a “DX” station for us, work FM transatlantic we would love to hear you.

Very nice! I have had a QSO from N. Ireland and the Azores and was very excited. Never yet have a UK contact!

My total apologies and attempting to step out of any possible political situation: I mean, of course, that I have not talked to England, Scotland, or Wales. Nor the Republic of Ireland, but that's a different story...

Peter thank you for being on the other side! Planning on the AO-91 @1525 tomorrow, I am planning on being in FN23 for it, much better horizon.
Burns, it can be tricky to remember who/what belongs to which of the terms we think all mean the same thing, but they do not. A map like this is helpful: https://brilliantmaps.com/eng-gb-uk/ At least I find it helpful.
