Hi all,
Some friends from south of France submitted the idea of a 5 GHz link between France and Corsica. The distance is 200-250 km, mostly over the sea. It's far longer than what I could see on HamNetDB, for example. But it's shorter than WiFi world records (some of them attempted more than 10 years ago between Italy and Sardinia). I never attempted links longer than 40km, so I don't have any experience. And we don't have any SHF expert locally...
1/ Do you think a permanent and stable 250 km link over the Mediterranean sea is doable ? Are some of you using such long links in 5 GHz ? If so, could you share your technical experience here ?
2/ Are there any people from Italy on this list ? Are there any volunteers between Genova and Roma to attempt a link with the East coast of Corsica ? If it works, would there be an interest in establishing a permanent link ?
Thank you for your comments,
