Thanks for the very detailed list of distance
record possibilities, from the east coast.
From the west coast, it may be tough to beat
5AN-891 in Adelaide, Australia (8,230 miles, or 13,255 km, from Grayland) once
somebody receives it for a decent stock Ultralight logging. Both John
and I received it easily with modified E100's, and it produced
audio traces on a stock SRF-T615, but nothing substantial enough to be
considered a logging. Kevin's logging of 3LO-774 (Melbourne, Australia)
from Seward, Alaska (7,684 miles, or 12,372 km) beat out multiple stock
Ultralight loggings of VOA-1575 (Thailand) from Grayland.
I suppose the ultimate challenge for both coasts
will be India, or the nearby islands. Tiny stock loopsticks will need
a lot of propagation help, for a miracle like that to happen.
