It wasn’t the longest contact ever but I did manage Washington state from San Diego last weekend. running 2 watts into a WRC antenna from the QRP-Labs QDX.

Last weekend I worked Japan, New Zealand and Indonesia from our club station in McDade, TX on FT4. I don’t recall the distance but it’s up there. Of course, the antenna was at 80ft and it was 100W.
I still need to get proficient with morse code. I was trending toward that goal last year, but deviated off the path.
