Hi Stefan,
 
a wspr -6dB sgnal is audible ?
The question is this: with this condition and if necessary a bit more power it is possible a cw qso?

Hi all,

Last night there were excellent condx on 630m on the TA path! G8HUH, F5WK and DK7FC managed to be decoded in above 5000 km in WSPR.

I've got exceptional good SNR reports!:

-6 dB by W1TAG/1 means that many weaker stations could have made the path as well, in that time slot!
