Milliwatt Lists

While there are no major awards for doing things with milliwatt power (QRPp), it is interesting to see what can be done using less than 1 watt with simple wire antennas. This page is devoted to those accomplishments. The first table lists one contact from each state I've contacted. That contact is the one I made with my lowest power level. The second table is my mW WAC. The third table lists all the band countries I've worked with mW power and the first station worked from that band country combination.

I originally used my homebrew transmitter for my mW work. It could go well down into the mW range - probably as low as just a few mW. Then while using my Kenwood rigs (570D and 480SAT) which don't go any lower than 5 watts output, I had to use an RF attenuator between their output and my antenna coupler to get down to milliwatt levels of RF going into my antenna. The resistors I had on hand when I built it turned out to give me 7.3 DB attenuation which reduced my 5 watts to 930 mW which I used for my mW work until I got my K2 a couple years ago, and now my KX3. Both rigs go well down into the mW range - 100 mW for the KX3, and I believe the same for the K2. I haven't used the K2 since I got the KX3 in October 2012.

The last column (VFD) in each table lists the means by which I have the state, continent, country verified, if I do, as follows:
- Not yet verified
Q Regular QSL card (1st preference)
L LotW (2nd preference)
E eQSL (3rd preference)
