Earlier today I made contact
with Bert, F6HKA, at a distance of 3,845 miles. We first made contact
on 15 meters using 5 watts. The band conditions were so good that I
hooked up the K1 and we made contact on 17 meters. That 17m contact was
made with my side running only 100 mW which equates to 38,450 miles per
watt. This is the kind of contact I was hoping to log running
milliwatts. I always enjoy talking to Bert and am happy that he was
able to hear my QRPp signal. As long as the daytime bands keep being
quiet perhaps I'll be able to best my current record. I'll keep trying.
