Well I just noticed he logged the contact on QRZ...
He was running 20 MILLIWATTS from a homebrew transmitter! He made note in the comments that this was a 38,750 mile per watt contact.
Wow! What fun to be on the other end of Bob who was running such low power. Keep having fun Bob!
Burke: Double-check with Bobby on his power. When I worked him a few weeks ago in the QRP Afield contest, he said over the air he was running 20mW. He confirmed that in a follow-up email exchange. However, in the QRZ.com logbook, his power is shown as 0.2 watts. I don't know if that's a quirk in QRZ.com or what. Anyway you slice it, Bobby puts out a heck of a QRPp signal from Georgia!

AK4JA made an incredible 38,750 mile per watt contact using only 20 milliwatts from a homebrew transmitter. This shows that skill and focus matter more than raw power. Just like in learning, small, consistent efforts can lead to big results. Students looking for efficient ways to study can take my French class online and achieve success by staying disciplined and using smart strategies.
