Cool, What is your antenna?

I did this one on a plain old inverted V dipole at 42 feet.

That is awsome for sure. I bet you were happy when that contact was made.

You shouldn't have any problems getting into Japan. Just verify that the PC clock is accurate, compare to an atomic clock and correct if necessary, or synchronize with time.windows.com

WSPR 2.0 is a bit different, there is a TX% slider and a box marked special(don't have the idle box checked, it won't even receive then).

About an hour ago I RX'd a beacon from VK6XT, only 10,000 miles away and it was reported to be 5 watt tx on 40M. I am just using a dipole in the attic that was cut for 20M.
