Hi John, Andy and group,
How about stations in the 40mW range, even less than Mike ?
We do have the advantage of absolute frequency accuracy.

Well, maybe things are not completely hopeless for us "single-yagi" boys?
CFH's carrier was above 30dBuV/m for several hours during last week's nights.
Without helium, I can radiate about 30mW, some 55dB below CFH's 10kW or
-25dBuV/m in VE. This would be a T to M signal here on a very quiet day with
3s dots in 0.34Hz. Noise is certainly higher at night, but 30s dots will make
up 10dB.
Right now CFH is coming up again, 32 dBuV/m at 23:40 ! Time to fire up the
tx and put out a call sign on 135922.19Hz (0.2 Hz above Laurie's upper
frequency).
