One of my big dreams is to complete a two-way QSO across the
Atlantic on 2200m. It has been done. It can be done. My station is
getting close to being ready. I have heard 2E0ILY up to -12 SNR on
WSPR2 and I have been reported with -19 SNR by G8HUH and G0LUJ.

It is too late for this season as QRN is always high now. But for
next winter I should have 3 dB more power and hopefully more/better
receive antennas.

Modes are a bit of a problem. On the best nights JT9 would be easy
but most of the time it would probably have to be QRSS or DFCW. It's
too bad we don't have a very slow digital QSO mode like JT9-10 or such.

So, who is going to take the challenge for a dream QSO next winter?
You have all summer to get the station ready... ;-)
