A power output check was made the next day to arrive at the 3uW estimate (in the video, Mike says it's 10uW output).

6-Meter Recordings
SCARC member N3LL, Bob Carnahan, put together a small collection of recordings made of 6-meter skip activities in which DX stations running as little as 30-watts can be heard. Most of the recordings are contacts between the club's station, W3KWH, and others; however, Bob includes one DX contact made from his home running only 100-watts and using a par omni loop antenna design.
The recordings will stream at any connection speed and can be listened to here.
