Hi all: Last night I ran WSPR on 160 meters at 5 Watts into a
Windom antenna up 32ft ( 15m ) AGL. There were a number of US
stations that took the time to look for my signal, and all of=20
them did get decodes. The most surprising, and pleasing report
came from the WSPRnet spot database. What I hoped to accomplish,
happened on the first overnight try:

2010-03-04 05:42 KU4XR 1.838102 -30 0 EM75xr 5 G4BOO IO91ij 6522 46

That's a distance of 6,522 Km, ( 4,052 miles ) - 810 Miles Per Watt
>From my QTH in Friendsville, TN. ( EM75xr ) to G4BOO ( IO91ij )
David, in Thatcham Newbury, England.

Thanks to Garry, Dick, Lloyd, Charlie, Mike, and Kurt for your
reports. And the database shows decodes from KB2MEN - Harry in
Hopewell, NJ.

I only decoded 1 station from Oregon thru the night who was using
100 Watts.  I hope to get some EU / UK decodes from here.

73 to all::=20
