My 500mW WSPR beacon was turned on at about 0755z. So far, just spots from local G4KPX (14km).
UPDATE 1321z: 35 unique stations have spotted my 10m WSPR QRP so far today.
UPDATE 1344z: It is amazing just how strong signals via Es can be. Today, for example, one German station reported my 500mW at +5dB S/N. If his background noise was low, he would probably have received me at 0.5mW. My antenna is nothing special. Raising it a bit higher and with a CB beam I could probably raise my signal by 10dB. So he would probably have spotted me if I was using just 50uW!
UPDATE 2002z: 38 stations have spotted me today on QRP 10m WSPR.
