Congratulations Joe and Markus! A new record, I make
that 4555 km and with a dB or two to spare.
That's really is a milestone for coherent at MF. I wonder
if the propagation would stand longer symbols at that
distance. Perhaps try 2 seconds?

Only losing 1.4 dB at most. Maybe things get better at
very long range.
The next target would be 5418 km to Domenico.

That explains then, why the spike went away when I reconfigured
for current mode.
Now it is all beginning to add up. My next attempt at a PA
hopefully wont have so many elementary mistakes.
