Actually Dick has not completed his QSO with me since he has not
confirmed my signal report:
RST = 0.000000000001, 5, 9
His 1kw CW signal with 20-dB gain to my planetary antenna with 35-dB
gain on 20m resulted in SNR of -205.4 dB; I'm still integrating it to
bring it out of the noise. Path loss of 464.7 dB results from the
over the 4.96 E12 km path. Next time fire up your fusion-reaction
thermo-nuclear amplifier: KPA-1BVA.
What you doubt that I am on the third planet orbiting Alpha
centauri? Well tell that to the USPS as everyone believes Alaska is
on another planet (maybe even another solar system)!

Dick,
That must also be a world-record for the longest QSO ever. Alpha
Centauri is 4.37 light-years distant from Earth so a round trip would
be approximately 8.74 years just to establish a firm
contact. Technically, if you guys exchanged the typical signal
report, name, qth, and other information you should still be working
on waiting for his name. Then, you could have done that in your CQ
call itself and saved some time.

Niagara Falls station to Millbury, Massachusetts. The RF coupled to
the 6 power lines and now I have the longest Dipole antenna in the
world according to Guinness Book of Records!! I was actually able to
contact a Ham on Alpha Centauri !!! And this is a DX record .
