Poland now on the 4 metre band

A new band, 70.1 - 70.3MHz, was officially released to radio amateurs in Poland at 00:00CET today. I have been prepared for this moment for the last 5 years, and was ready and waiting. I made radio contacts using morse code, voice and data; the latter being in FSK441 mode using meteor-scatter with Enrico, callsign IK0BZY, in Italy at a distance of 1295 kms, as can be seen in the partial screen capture from WSJT9.
