My 500uW (0.5mW) signal has already been spotted by EA8BFK (2880km) .
The beacon is pre-programmed to report 500mW even though the actual output is just 0.5mW!! The QRPP power is confirmed by spectrum analyser.
UPDATE 1152z: Now spotted 5 times today by EA8BFK. USA afternoon?
UPDATE 1519z: No further spots of me. Not surprisingly, single hop F2 is the most successful. I guess the USA is at least 2 hops, so there is far greater path loss, so the USA would require conditions to be exceptional with 0.5mW.
