For a long time I have suspected that scatter modes might be better on 70cm than on 2m. Last night there was a sort of contest.
Last evening 29 stations were spotted in 6 countries (see map) with just a 2m (144MHz) big-wheel omni antenna. 2 of these were 479km away! Imagine what would have been possible with even a small beam.
If there was regular 70cm FT8 activity I think surprising distances would be worked at any time.
