Ham radio operators are still waiting for a full direct transatlantic QSO (=confirmed both-ways radio contact) on 2m/144MHz.
That's like hunting a unicorn with a golden horn - whoever does this first will earn a lot of fame in this niche hobby.
(for other frequencies like 50MHz this is more or less daily business doesn't earn more words than "yes was a nice day with good propagation")
Beacon stations are on both sides and they are blasting with a lot of power for quite a while now. But far away from the x kilowatt powers radio stations are using.
