A lot of power, can I charge blown-up front-end transistors to you ? .... ..

As you are at a rathern northern position best chances to be heard at the
other side of the pond will be eastern VE and north-eastern W. Distance to
very east of Canada should just be over 4000km, North-East US abt. 5000 to
5500km. Extra advantage is that the complete path is very northern.

During the GD DX-pedition I had some problems copying the GD stations
because 2 nearby stations were calling straight on the transmit frequency
of the GD. Working 'split' maybe a good idea :
a. you will cause no QRM to others trying to copy the 'DX station'
b. if we spread out everybodies chance to be heard will increase

Good luck with the operation,
