Over the last few days I've been alternating between a mcHF SDR radio with WJSTX CAT control and a stand alone WSPR beacon running on a ?BITX kit radio - both feeding 1 watt into an end fed halfwave wire just 30 feet above ground.Oh dear it will be FT8 next .....
Had my first spot from Australia on 20m today - 16919km away with just 1 watt. Other spots from 9590km on 15m and 7128km on 10m.
1 watt is too easy - I'm going to have to start winding down the power :-)
