Apparently I missed the deadline for the SWL contest log
;-).

A snip of N2XE is at:

The 1 mW 80 meter signal is quite readable here, which is
not surprising if the transmitting antenna has any
efficiency at all. On a quiet winter night last year W8LRL
was readable here and I am readable at his QTH with
significantly less than 500 microwatts. I think we were
actually down less than 100 microwatts, if I remember
correctly.

W4ZV was playing with this last year. I'm not sure what
Bill's ultimate miles per watt distance was.
