I was not able to hear both stations mostly above noise level but I took a reading of the input level of both stations with my selective level meter MV 61: G3XTZ, distance to my qth 732 km: -121 dBm(75 Ohm) G3YXM, distance to my qth 826 km: -119 dBm (75 Ohm).

According to a curve for medium dry ground (is the U.K
