Hi Mal,

Then continue to transmit. I bet there is more DX possible, even with that low power level.
Will you build an exciter to drive your real PA?
You could make it to FR5ZX, nearly 10000 km!

My congratulations! So now how do you generate that signal? A Raspi? That could explain the SNR. I guess you will add some 10 dB soon? :-)
Tell us!
