At this time of year and for the next few weeks anyone
around EU with an output of 1W erp or more should be audible on the East
coast USA if the RX stn has a proper antenna for the job. Seeing
traces on a screen using Micro whips. ferrite rods and
small loops in QRS 60 - 6000 is completely different to copying
aural CW. In the past I have been heard on CW in
NA east coast and likewise those with large antennas in EU/UK will
hear the USA/Canadian stns. When I listen I often hear W/VE stns
both on LF es MF, strong enough for QSO. Unfortunately it is
hard to co ordinate a QSO these days when most operators BEACON
only and report via email, this was not the case several years ago, the
majority were in QSO mode working split freq duplex and QSX on HF. As I see it
the possibility of having a LF or MF QSO at present is NIL

If
your signal was down by 10 db last night the reduction in power sure wasn't
noticeable here. Between about 0230 to 0300 hrs I was attempting to
aurally detect your carrier. Had your signal been 10 db stronger I
believe I could have copied slow
CW.
