Powell, I don't know if I could hear one watt in July on 1720 off the beverage. However, if it was Fall or Winter, maybe. I have several TIS stations heard & QSL'd on 1620, 1630, 1640, 1660, 1670, & 1700 from the East. I have the 10 watter from JFK on 1700, two VA's on 1620 (Also 10 watt), 1630 from Metra (Chicago) with 9 watts, 1630 Michigan DOT 1630(10 watts), Allentown PA with 10 watts on 1670, and my lowest power at about 2,000 miles Eastern Texas on 1670 with 3.5 watts. So 1 watt from the East on a clear frequency with code or sweep tones is especially possible if CX are decent, but I would not bet on it in July. By the way, I have two 1 watt carrier current stations, Sacramento College on 1620 and a College in SLC also on 1620 with 1 watt.
