I Just made my longest QRP contact WITH ZS1TMJ into Clanwilliam, South Africa, just North of Cape Town on my Yaesu FT-817nd QRP rig into my Wilson tri-band antenna. 8,142 mi (13,103 km), which equates to 1,628.4 miles per watt. AWESOME contact. I made this contact yesterday on100w on my FT-450D. Nice to see 10 staying open.
10 meters has been crazy wild today for me. I've made the following additional 5 watt contacts today...
Iceland TF3CY
Italy IK2WZM
Slovenia S57T
England MX0TGB
Netherlands PD7RF
Colorado (5w QRP PORTABLE to 5w QRP fixed station) KF0UR
I swear you can work DX today using a coat hanger, but I've been using my Carolina Windom and the Wilson S-33 tri-band 3-element beam. Loads of fun!!!
