Could you try with QRP 5watts to see how far you can reach? 11K miles on 100w is not that impressive?

It’s impressive, to me at least, given the antenna is in an NVIS configuration (configured for distances of ~1k miles) and given that anything below S7 is in the noise. I have tried QRP and cannot reach overseas with this antenna placement.
