Local coverage over here is around 500 miles
daytime. I can qso at this distance daily on both 137 and 500 and a fraction of
the power that you guys run.
I can work OH1TN and the Italian stns at over 1000
miles daily anytime on 137 and GI4DPE and others on 500 Khz at
around 400 miles without any effort. My latest xband 137/500 is a couple of
thousand of miles away. If you read the mail I was S4 and ED was
S3 with me on CW audible.
My choice is CW but I have to comply with others at
times when they prefer QRS 3 etc but I do not use any lower speed than
qrs3.
My Pa is 1 fet job and you could put in your
pocket, call in anytime and see it. If I had the power that you guys are
permitted I could work worldwide 24 hrs every day.
The Russian guys are on the ball and get their act
together, always in QSO mode and no BEACON pollution.

Hmmm, 3w ERP? How much power you running Mal??? And sending
QRSS? What's with that? No CW? hi hi
Local coverage on this side of the
pond is considered about 50 miles from a station. So you got a first on your
side of the pond & Jay & Dex got a first on our side of the
pond.
