Australia on 40m QRP tonight

It really is too easy with WSPR on HF.  Last night some reports from Antarctica and tonight a brief 5W transmission on 40m got me another report from VK6POP in Australia. One of my projects is a micropower WSPR beacon for 10m, but it will have to be something like 10mW to be anything like a challenge :-)

New WSPR DX record tonight (40m)

Trying out WSPR2 on 40m this evening and just got a report from VK6POP at 14465kms, which is a new DX record for me. I was running 5W to my 500kHz antenna tuned via the Elecraft T1 ATU. It must work pretty well on 40m!
