Dear Markus,

It seems you made it over the Atlantic. Congratulations!  And that with a miniMal power of 170 mW!

Dick

miniMAL is as good as maxiMAL when propagation condx are right. My transatlantic qso's were conducted using QRP a couple of hundred watts. I do have reserve power but seldom run it flat out.

I use my home built mosfet TX/PA max 1kw out which is very reliable although I have two DECCA power amps that would run about 2.4 kw out if strapped/matched to the antenna.

With my antenna system only a few watts are required to get to 1w erp out. I suppose I could try QRO into a wet match stick.

Am I right that you are the second continental station after CT1DRP that crossed the Atlantic?

I wish you and all LFers a happy, healthy and peaceful 2004 with lots of LF activity.
