New QRPp World Record

I am pleased to publicly announce that the SP5ANU 3.588 MHz temporary beacon has, to the best of my knowledge, broken the QRPp world record on 3.5mhz. (previously set by N2XE at 27uw)

On Saturday morning, 08:55 UTC SP5AGT/4, about 200km north of the beacon correctly picked up the latest control letters. The beacon was transmitting with a power of 12.5uw.

I believe this sets a new world record on at least 3.5mhz, (but still far short of the ultimate QRPp record on 720nw set on 28mhz).

I would be pleased to hear if anyone knows if any lower power levels have succesfully been used on 80m.

73's
