Whats interesting about this map in amateur radio terms is that the contacts in USA and Canada and also to Asiatic Russia were made on a Yaesu 817 using only 5 watts of power on a home made vertical antenna on 20mtrs.
These contacts were on SSB (voice) so that makes it much more special.
Distance was over 3000 miles.
What was also interesting was even though I was on 5 watts my contact in Canada was using 1 KW of power back to me, he gave me a 5/7 report which was awesome over that distance.
These are confirmed contacts which is great.
