Well, since we have a holiday today (Monday), I had the opportunity to check this yesterday night. Right, I had a nice crossband QSO with IK5OVP in JN53KX, 928 km away. His signal was -121 dBm(75) in the peak wich is a couple of dB over the noiselevel. I transmitted on 160m, which is a little bit tricky, as I use my IC-746 and the antenna for 160m as well as for 136 kHz. I have to switch 4 switches from transmit to receive and vice versa... One thing I noticed after the QSO was the good signal strength of the "Greek Beacon" around 135.8 kHz. While this is normally up to -104 dBm(75), it was up to -92 dBm(75) yesterday night.
