I've worked the western part of Venezuela, about two months ago, SSB, 5pm local time, 12V battery, loop antenna.
He gave me a 59 (let's say 57/58 real RST) but he had no problem copying me.

According to google maps:

Total distance: 407.11 km (252.97 mi)

I've worked ZL4AU from VK3. ? 2121km or 1318 mi.?

Conditions weren't great and it was hard going.?

Here's a video



From here I find that VK6 and ZL (both over 2000km) are often workable with QRP gear like the Bitx. But further distances are much harder.?

CDX have been not as good since.

For SSB about 1980 miles to KL7CWN with 5w and 80 meter ocf dipole at about 25 feet. On wspr I logged AU at 9246 miles.?
