 By the next night I had replaced the pre-amplifier with the lower noise one, and proceeded to work a total of 65 unique stations in my first week of operation with my compromised system. For the next period of operation I had replaced the dish feed with my Septum Feed and slowly increased my power to 300W or so. By March 2025 I had worked 133 unique stations off the moon (known as initials), in all continents, in 102 grids, and in 37 DXCC entities. I think I have worked 15 US states. By the next night I had replaced the pre-amplifier with the lower noise one, and proceeded to work a total of 65 unique stations in my first week of operation with my compromised system.

 WSJT-X incorporates an Echo mode which transmits short pulses and detects the echo, and I can usually see returns of around -19dB (in a 3kHz bandwidth) which is more than enough to be able to work myself, if that were possible. Indeed I have worked many people running systems similar or smaller than mine. The smallest station that I have worked is G0HIK with two 33 element yagis, OE3JPC who uses two 56 element yagis is also regularly worked when the path loss is low. WSJT-X incorporates an Echo mode which transmits short pulses and detects the echo, and I can usually see returns of around -19dB (in a 3kHz bandwidth) which is more than enough to be able to work myself, if that were possible.
