Although this feat could not of course have been achieved with normal speed CW at anywhere near our permitted ERP levels, from the clarity of the copy at John's end I am now wondering how much ERP would actually be required to cross the pond under "absolutely ideal" conditions - although having the persistence to wait for these is another matter altogether! I suspect that condx would have to have been near-ideal for this attempt anyway. So, how about 136kHz transatlantic attempts using progressively lower powers? Just an idle thought :-) Regards, Kevin G1HDQ.
