Not really a SOTA topic, but I was receiving your 0.1 watt WSPR signal very well on 5 MHz yesterday on my 100 ft doublet.
I did put out a signal for about 15 minutes (33% transmitting), but unfortunately I can’t run less than 5 watts with my TS690S and it was immediately obvious that the signal is far too powerful for WSPR. So I switched it off to avoid annoying the other users. I’ll have to try again on lower power when I get an interface rigged up for my FT817.

Bizarrely, that is what appears to be the norm for WSPR. Quite often on 7MHz my S meter reads S7 or more with WSPR signals. I usually run 1W on 7MHz or 21MHz which is sufficient to get out with my wire dummy load in the back garden, but each to his own - I did note one station running 200 watts!
