Today 1.5 watts from the SW+ got me to Wellfleet, MA.  I worked KM1CC the Marconi Cape Cod Radio Club celebrating International Marconi Day.  Guglielmo Marconi built the first transatlantic radio transmitter station on the coast of Wellfleet in 1901.  The first transmission from America to England was sent January 18, 1903.  A wonderful book I read that follows Marconi's advancement in wireless communication is "Thunderstruck" by Erik Larson.  Another thing Wellfleet is known for is it's oyster fest!  Add another interesting place I would like to go someday and experience for myself.
