Hi

Yesterday was my first day of WSPR transmissions using a Flex 1500 into a MFJ 1788X antenna.
My knowledge of this mode is very limited, so imagine my great surprise to see to call showing as having been received by VK2DDI.
I believe this is otherwise known as the Berry Mountain Grabber, Australia.

It seems almost unbelievable to me that 0.5 watt signal into a very modest antenna 10ft above the ground could have travelled 17000 Km, Would anyone care to comment on
the accuracy of this reported logging.
