The Hawaii to California tropo duct is legendary and might be the longest on record. However I heard there is a Hawaii to Mexico duct as well and maybe even longer.
This seems like a loaded question but do Yagi antennas perform better for DX contacts on UHF/VHF over others? I'm a freshly minted technician and have a Ed Fong DBJ-1 on order.

Thanks Hayden. Handy for amateurs like me aiming to try for some VHF+ DX contacts during their first Winter Field Day next weekend. 73 Daryl VK3MCB

Super cool mate.

Whoa, Hawaii to Mexico would be insane!
@@HamRadioDX yes I hear that The duct sometimes reaches south to Mexico and sometimes as far north as Washington state on rare occasions
Thanks for the video I like the stuff which relates to 2 m and above considering I spent a fair bit of time on 2m 70cm
Glad you enjoyed it
@@HamRadioDX Thank you 73 Tom VK3FTOM

Yes yagis do as they are directional and have more gain focused in one direction compared to a omni directional antenna
