5mw signal from W1BW
Overnight I heard and was heard by a number of VK and ZL stations, but perhaps my most interesting spot was from long time QRSS/grabber/WSPR participant W1BW. Despite the fact that he was running a mere 5mw, I managed to pick him up twice overnight:
2 spots:
| Timestamp | Call | MHz | SNR | Drift | Grid | Pwr | Reporter | RGrid | km | az |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2010-03-12 02:48 | W1BW | 10.140228 | -25 | 0 | FN42hl | 0.005 | K6HX | CM87ux | 4286 | 281 |
| 2010-03-12 02:58 | W1BW | 10.140230 | -26 | 0 | FN42hl | 0.005 | K6HX | CM87ux | 4286 | 281 |
What’s even more amazing is that he was heard by VK7ZL, VK2/VK6DI and distances of greater than 16000 km.

W1BW must have some good antennas. He picks up my 20 mW signal quite frequently. And I have a horrible antenna!
