Cape Verde Is on 70cm

According to a second hand report on Southgate News the Cape Verde contest group can now operate on 70cms. Does this mean yet more astounding DX records will fall?

The original report came from John's excellent blog at https://ei7gl.blogspot.com/2019/08/new-432-mhz-station-on-cape-verde.html .

Cape Verde Is worked on 2m from Eire!

It had to happen, but this is a mighty long way! Southgate News reports on this record breaking IARU region 1 contact.

At some point it will happen on 432 and 1296MHz. Even 10GHz would not be out of the question. Hawaii to California has been spanned many times on bands up to 1296MHz, I believe.
