It's so fine to make this sort of memorable QSO's. <br /><br />Don't worry about dupes. They show the other station that you are not working with a fixed power, but that you are using the <b>opportunity</b>, that the daily fluctuations of the ionosphere provide.<br />The S-meter is a very good indicator for extreme propagation.<br /><br />After all these QSO's with low power, I sometimes I can not decide with which power I shall answer. If the power is just to low he will not hear me.<br /><br />Further it all depends on operating practice and luck. <br />Good luck in low power DX.<br /><br />Go for the 100, and don't stop. hi<br />73, BertBert, PA1Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064917598289627232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-20015774344204464732011-04-28T06:45:30.276-07:002011-04-28T06:45:30.276-07:00Hello Bert,

My best so far (at one watt) was WP4L in Puerto Rico. <br /><br />WP4L comes in #1 with 1,679.46 miles per watt!<br /><br />(I've worked him "twice" but the one watt contact was the clincher....) <br /><br />I now have 2 contacts in Bulgaria, 2 in France, 1 in Spain and (my best) 1 in Puerto Rico.<br /><br />I'm quite amused with my contacts. <br /><br />My DX contacts are now just over # 75...I'll consider it an accomplishment when I hit # 100.<br /><br />Thanks again for your suggestion to always lower my power to 4 watts or less when the band is good! <br /><br />It's been a real "hoot" so far!Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-36700058034657060102011-04-27T23:08:03.045-07:002011-04-27T23:08:03.045-07:00Hello John,

WOW.<br />Your Isotron is really doing great.<br />Who would think that this is possible.<br />Good luck in MPW DX. hi<br />73, BertBert, PA1Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14064917598289627232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-6277993999657389112011-04-27T19:29:27.970-07:002011-04-27T19:29:27.970-07:00Hello Dick,

No matter what...we have a lot of fun with radio!Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-58340756872224469902011-04-27T18:27:10.427-07:002011-04-27T18:27:10.427-07:00Great John.
