 If you take a better look at Bob's QSL card (click to enlarge) you
      see 2000W tx power. I used abt 400W to get the 5 W erp radiated by
      the antenna. If you listen to the signal of Bob you will realize
      that only RRRRR etc was not necessary.
 You are right abt using QRP on these bands,  a QRO tx is very
      useful to get out of the garden. If you consider the erp. we are
      actually working QRP on these low bands.

      Hi,
 Aaaaaah so that was QRO, not QRP, right? Or what was the TX power,
      rather 5W or rather 500W?
 And what about Bob, 5W or 500W?
 Just to make things clear regarding "QRO is not necessary".
 Was it a longer QSO with some content or just "RRRRR 73 73 73
      didididadidaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" :-)

        All fyi, 
          I had a CW QSO on 502 kHz with Bob WE2XGR/6 on Feb 9 2010, 
          04:00 UTC
          at that time the DX record on CW. On my website (in plane
          Dutch) a copy
          of the QSL card and an audio file of the first part of the QSO
          including a restart of my keyer. My output during the QSO was
          abt, 5 W
          erp.

          (see: EERSTE QSO NEDERLAND etc.)  for the audio file click
          left on QSO WE2XGR-6 v3

          Andy,
             
    Some years ago Bob W2ZM using the experimental call
              WE2XGR/6 worked Finbar EI0CF on CW and also ssb (Bob ran
              ssb, Finbar
              ran CW).       Somewhere I have a .wav file from Finbar with his
              reception of Bob's ssb signal. I know that there have been other T/A contacts but I
              don't
              recall all the details.
