My very first contacts were established with 2 land stations on 14300 at
100W that were about 1000 miles away. They both reported that my signal
was good and that it sounded like I was "sitting right next to them". I
have no idea if this was a good distance, great, or mediocre.


If your system wasn't working, then you'd know it.

"who's that? ... sorry old man ... too weak!'

Sounds like you've got a winner.

Enjoy.
