You can't possibly mean -5dBm.
 
Even if propagation were line of sight, at 200km distance (near enough between you ?)  Free space loss = 32.4+20LOG(f.d)  [MHz, km]  = 61dB.   EIRP max 30dBm so max power received assuming you antenna were 100% efficient (!!!!)  could only be -31dBm.
 
I don't think there can be a propgation mechnism at these freqs where path loss can be less than line-of-sight.  Unlike ducting on microwave paths.
 
Using speclab this is what was indicated. Nothing calibrated. Relative measurement signal above noise floor 55 db.
I expect to be really meaningful the system needs to be calibrated. Next time I will try the calibrated LEVEL METER
The signal was very strong, likwise M0BMU is also very strong. Large dog bones across the screen !!!!!!

Band quiet today at my observation times. Did see G3YXM on QRS very strong signal at -5 dbm and 55 db signal above noise floor.
