Two east coast stations running full legal power to fullsize verticals 
on 80m, one using a beverage for receive, the other a remote RX in DL 
with good connection - who will have more phone qsos with EU stations?
And btw, for us small guns it would take a lot of fun out of the game if 
we knew that in more and more cases our little signals really had not 
made it over the atlantic or to a new DXCC-country far away but only to 
a RX 200km away.
