NVIS tests with Reunion Island using FLDIGI and FLARQ

Successful  tests have been carried out with FR1GZ and FR5FZ   of ADRASEC 974.

Reunion is using BPSK63 of FLDIGI and standard messages of  FLMSG with NVIS for their emcom structure.I have been told they they do not wish to rely solely on the vhf relays as they have had problems in the past and during catastrophic conditions it is almost impossible to deploy mobile vhf relays and that's why they are including  the HF NVIS solution as part of their emcom structure.
