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:

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!
