Try it with 3, 4 or 5 watt maximum,,,,,then try AM,,,then try FM,,,all
with single digit wattage capacity. When you make that contact across
the deep blue sea, experiment and see just how low you can go with the
wattage and try different modes, antennas, radios, etc.


Working the pond with three watts on a skip band isn't much of a challenge at
all, Dave. Last week I managed to squeeze 74 mW ERP out of my experimental
antenna on 162.5 kHz (and in case I didn't 'learn' you well enough the first
time, that's KILO-Hertz, not MEGA-Hertz) and someone picked up my beacon in SLC.
Now THAT'S a challenge!
