Hello Lubos,
1W ERP is OK for working Europe on 500.
I am running about the same power (ERP) and have worked all European countries that are active in CW plus VE in QRSS3. Further RX reports from as far as TF, OH, UA3, LZ and SV in CW and 4X in QRSS3.
I have been heard in the US and have heard US stations last winter, so even central Europe to US east coast should be possible with 1 W ERP when condx are right.
But more ERP is better for DX, no doubt ...

Hello Rik!
Thanks for the good report. I am quite surprise at it, becouse my ERP power is still only 1W. My bigger PA is not complete yet.
Have a nice weekend!
Lubos, OK2BVG
