Alan, george here, how's my old 2m handy performing sir ?? That was a fantastic contact on 10mW !! .. wonder how your FSTV is doing? I've recenty bought 23cm kit .. still to fire up :o) .. best wishes mate .. George :o)
Hello George the handie is doing fine thank you. Have had QSO with a station 200 miles away on the 3 watt setting going through the 15 ele boomer, a nice audio report given too! Not much happening on FSTV on 23cms at the mo, hope to soon though.. and thanks for your comment :)
That is very good! Well done! It's good to hear someone using QRP. I tend to use just 5 wats but I only have an indoor di-pole so lose loads of gain. Very very nice going. Love your exitement too! Just how I feel after a really good one! IUsing a longwire and just 5watts I worked 2 american stations in the summer! So pleased!
Hi Randy, I did, I was running 50W most of the time, but because DK1FG (and ON4KHG) were so strong I tried on minimum power. Extraordinary inversion, the best I have seen.
I have worked FM 3w from Scotland to Yugoslavia under similar conditions.

Hello Callum, hope you are well.
I've put another tropo inversion QSO up on my channel, it was shot on the same day as these, I cant understand why I missed this one for so long!?
Anyway, its not as far as this contact was, but he does lower his power to 2W..

700 watts and 50 over S9 to your 0.01 watts! Exciting. Just think how much fun you would have if you raised your transmitter to 1 watt. Randy
