[600MRG] 630 first WSPR in Europe

[WM3M]

Ed,

The amp with my K3 puts out 150 watts more or less, its the original one 
sold by K5DNL.

WSPR output last night was 200 mw from the QRPlabs U3A.  So actual EiRP 
from the antenna was maybe in the single milliwatts, my very rough guess 
would be about 6 milliwatts EIRP.
