<H1>1229 km with 1 mW on 500 kHz</H1>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>Roger G3XBM</STRONG> has been trying to break the
1000 km barrier with his 1 milliwatt 500 kHz station and on Wednesday January 20
he succeeded.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>On the GQRP list he writes:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>This evening [Wednesday], my target of exceeding 1000kms on
500kHz has been exceeded by a GREAT margin. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma><STRONG>Lubos OK2BVG</STRONG> in JN88ks managed to hear my
1mW ERP WSPR signal at a distance of 1229kms. This is by far my best DX and a
new country on the band. Lubos even moved to his quieter country QTH in order to
hear my weak signal.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>This was his message.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Hello Roger, LF!<BR>This moment is just now:<BR>2136 -7 0.2
0.503874 0 G4JNT IO90 23<BR>2142 -29 -0.5 0.503910 1 G3XBM JO02 0</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Congratulation!<BR>Lubos, OK2BVG, JN88KS</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma>Still picking myself up off the floor and I cannot begin to
convey how exciting this is for me! He must have "good ears" and a quiet
location to be able to do this.</FONT></P>
