At 283km this is an excellent distance for qrp. Mike G3XDV wrote: > I heard Ron on Sunday morning, but only at 319, signing G6RO/QRP. This morning (Sunday) I had a fine QSO with Ron. His QRP signal (5 W RF) was RST 439 here (with QRM & QRN), rising to R5 at times. Distance is 253 km. The remarkable thing is that Ron's QTH is off the side of my single turn loop - the only TX/RX antenna that I had available this morning! I'm sure that Ron would have been RST 559, if I had been using an omnidirectional antenna. Regards to all, Steve GW4ALG
