So at least until Gary Deacon of South Africa or Tony King of NZ checks in with a new list of US receptions :-) the reception of the 10 kW 531-6DL in Dalwallinu, Australia from the ocean cliff site near Manzanita, Oregon appears to be the longest Ultralight radio worldwide reception at that power level since records have been kept (9,050 miles or 14,564 km). Records are made to be broken, however, so I'm waiting for an email from Gary or Tony :-)

Congratulations Gary………If it was pouring Rain and Windy, you should be allowed to add another 100 Miles on that for a Bonus!!!
Amazing Stuff…..who would have ever imagined where this ULR phenomenom was going to end up way back in 2008!!
Your Hard Work , out on the cliff has really paid off…….
