Again I would say it can also be done on normal hand sent CW at a sensible speed of a few wpm, favourable propagation and the max permitted power. A little more power like the ZL 5 watts might make it a regular occurance to make a contact across the Atlantic and beyond. Sitting up all night every night could be the biggest problem!!!!!!!!! It might be worth trying during daytime or early evening. 73 de G3KEV
