From the viewpoint of old Europe it´s probably "just" the atlantic ocean, what has to be passed. Thinking, that there is basically nothing in between the two continents than waves, storms and a view ships and the signal will be then received at another part of the world, which we only knew for some hundred years (and since then with a cultural conection). I like working UA9 or UA0, JA from DL as well, but the skip over the atlantic ocean "feels" somehow different. Sounds kind of psychologically.
