This was SSB on 20 meters. My next farthest contacts are more like 5000 miles down to Chile and Argentina, same 20W G90 and dipole. I am completely lacking Asia and Africa though

I got licensed in my 30s after wanting to when I was a kid. My farthest contact is 15000km from the US to Australia running 20W into a dipole hanging from a tree.
