As of now on 474.kHz WSPR RX, I am up to 24 unique station reports with best DX 1269km from LA1TN in Norway (JP33SA). I still think transatlantic reception (i.e. of a W) is possible if conditions are very good one night.
As an experiment, I may try to excite my PAR end-fed via a ferrite loading coil on TX this weekend to see who can copy me. This would be a very compromised TX antenna.
UPDATE 8.2.14: I cannot find the ferrite rod, so this TX experiment will have to wait.
How about a helium balloon when there is no wind?

Too much effort in my present condition!
