QRPp Low Power Award can be found at Here.)

Who holds the miles-per-watt long distance recored?

According to Richard "Rich" H. Arland (K7YHA at that time, later K7SZ, and now SK), in World Radio magazine (February 1990, year 19, issue 89, pp. 46-47) the long-distance low power record is held by KL7YU and W7BVV. They were using one micro-watt over a distance of 1,650 miles on a 10-meter path between Alaska and Oregon in 1970. This is the equivalent of 1.6 billion miles (2.5 billion kilometres) per watt!
