I use 500R here and I do not think you would be able to hear my signal as I only use 5 watts as I am beaconing to our server(VE7SUN) only 5km away. The VE7SUN server, running 50w into a butternut, does mode change on rec. though. Signals out of W6 land are very good this am as I was receiving WA6TLA at Manhattan Beach at over S-9 on RTTY a few minutes ago. It is a pity there are not many PSKmail servers in N.A.
