2010/1/11 Rik Strobbe <rik.strobbe@fys.kuleuven.be>
I just had a look at the WSPR database an condx must have been excell= ent last night:
PA0A can not only copied by KL1X in Alaska (7066km) but= also by KL1X/5 in Texas:

2010-01-11 03:20=A0=A0 PA0A=A0=A0 0.50389= 9=A0=A0 -27=A0=A0 0=A0=A0 JO33de=A0=A0 5=A0=A0 KL1X/5=A0=A0 EM26ar=A0=A0= 7546=A0=A0 302

Counting the "uniques" there were 3 paths of +7000km: gold= for PA0A-KL1X/5 (7546km), silver for WD2XSH/10-DL4RAJ (7378km) and bronze= for PA0A-KL1X (7066km).
Further 10 paths in the 6000-7000km range and= 16 paths in the 5000-6000km range.

TA crossings west to east:
WD2XSH/10 was copied by 9 Europeans (bes= t DX DL4RAJ =3D 7378km)
WD2XSH/17 was copied by 9 Europeans (best DX DL= 4RAJ =3D 6251km)

TA crossings east to west:
PA0A was copied by= 6 Americans (best DX KL1X/5 =3D 7546km)
M0BMU was copied by 3 Americans (best DX WA3USG =3D 5792km)
SM6BHZ was= copied by 2 Americans (best DX W1VD =3D 5935km)
G4JNT was copied by 1= American (best DX W1VD =3D 5437km)

Also:
There were 23 spots of= PA0A by WD2XSH/17 and 14 spots of WD2XSH/17 by PA0A, a 2 way WSPR QSO wou= ld have been possible.
Maybe also for M0BMU - WD2XSH/17 (15 / 8 spots)

Another remarkable= thing:
Last night I had 16 spots of WD2XSH/10 (6225km) and "only&= quot; 6 spots of WD2XSH/17 (5598km)
Both claim the same ERP (2 Watt)
