Why JT-65 is so cool

Today I fired up my Yaesu  FT-856D, connected it to the Rigblaster.  After calibrating the computer clock to Zulu I thought what the heck, lets see how far a 5 watt signal will travel on a day where conditions are poor. I don't normally do JT65 on the 10 meter band but in poor conditions I was impressed.

This was the solar report on QRZ.com.

This was where my 5 watt SSB signal ended up according to http://pskreporter.info
