Reports from an afternoon running a WSPR beacon on 22m from a hill overlooking Clarks Hill Lake (or Lake Strom Thurmond if you're from SC).
I figured I'd get spotted a few times if I left it running long enough, but I did NOT expect to get spotted by a Dutch station. That was a pleasant surprise!

What did you use for transmitter and antenna? Sounds like a fun idea.
