Warbler exceeds 1000 miles per Watt
10 January 2011 | by This evening conditions were good and I managed to have a nice QSO with Jaume, EA3NE in Terrassa, near Barcelona, Spain on 80m PSK31 using the Warbler. That is nice DX for a such a simple rig as the Warbler, although Jaume’s station clearly helped.
From Greely, ON, Canada to Terrassa, Spain
Copy was good as can be seen in the screenshot below.

The distance comes in at around 6027 km or 3745 miles. Given the Warbler puts out 3W then this QSO exceeds 1000 miles per Watt. Very pleasing!
Distance calculators can be found using Google Maps, Open Street Maps as well as a useful ‘miles per Watt’ calculator at the QRP ARCI website.
