9785 Miles per Watt Award - NAQCC award

 Below is my best distance as a MPW Award.

9785 Miles per watt - EA6ACA ( Pedro) in the Balearic Islands

Just short of my target of 10,000 MPW by 125 miles.

I've got Europe quite a few times on 1 watt, but its always been between 8000 - 9000 mpw. I wanted to crack the 10,000 mile mark. However getting over 10,000 miles means I have to target a fine area.

This means the eastern seaboard of Spain/ Portugal/ Morocco or the Azores. The western side of Spain is under 10,000. So.. its a fine line. Once I crack the 10,000 MPW, then its time to turn down the power to 1/2 watt to increase my "mileage". Its my own personal challenge I'm having fun with I do from time to time when conditions suit. 

In the meantime, I'm building a new QRPp attenuator.

November's blog

 G'day all,

This month had its up and downs in regards to propagation up here in Far North Queensland. 

However, there were times when the noise level dropped and the chatter went through the roof. I did manage to get quite a few EU and US contacts, so it was great to receive a couple of QSL cards from them.

Roly (ZL1BQD) from New Zealand.

Pedro (EA6ACA) from the Balearic Islands near Spain

I also just received a EQL card today from Zenji (JR1JWR) whom I contacted
back in 2023 using only 1 watt.
