London Info
Good afternoon.
About a week ago I was enroute to Calais via Dover and speaking to London info on 124.6. I reported coasting out and was asked to report mid channel. At Dover I was at 3500. By mid channel I had been forced down to around 1800 feet due to cloud. Attempting to report mid channel to London, I realised that I had lost comms. Luckily I was able to relay a position report via another aircraft on frequency. I was suprised that at 1800 feet I was not able to maintain contact, I would have thought that only 12 or so miles from Dover comms would still be OK
and that there would be repeaters in the Dover area. I would be interested in any comments from anyone in the know.
Many Thanks,
Meldrew.
