Last month on 21st July 2024, I worked Michael N7AVN aeronautical mobile on 14.238 mHz on the 20m band.

Michael was flying from Anchorage Alaska, USA to Chicago Illinois, USA.

He was in the cockpit at the controls of a Boeing 747 at 39,000 feet.

The image below shows all of the aircraft in the sky at the time. Amazing!

Below is a short video of my reception of Michael. Unfortunately, his signal had dropped quite a bit by the time I got the iPhone out.
