I have the following 187 DXCC-entities worked with 500 milliwatts and dipole antennas, and 186 DXCC-entities confirmed by QSL cards or LoTW unless otherwise indicated.
Unless otherwise indicated, I made all the contacts on CW running 500 milliwatts to dipole (DP) antennas.
This list contains some QSOs made using my previous 3-area callsign.
This list contains no scheduled contacts.
Without excellent receiving ability of the following stations, I could not have achieved the results.
I am grateful to these good-ears stations.

0:00 - 0:41: My output power 10W
1:03 - 1:18: My output power 500mW (0.5W)
1:43 - 2:00: My output power 200mW (0.2W)
MY ANTENNA: a dipole on my balcony about 20mH
Great Circle Chart

The smallest circle on the chart represents a distance of 3,000 km from the center (i.e. my QTH), and the second smallest circle represents 6,000 km, and so on.(Click to enlarge)
This chart was generated using DX Atlas created by Alex Shovkoplyas, VE3NEA. The original image is more beautiful.
My QRPp Policy:
I use an output power of 500 milliwatts (0.5W) to call a target DX station.
In "599 BK"-style QSOs, I maintain my output power at 500 milliwatts until completion of the QSOs.
In non-"599 BK" style QSOs, after confirming that my callsign has been correctly copied and after sending his/her RST at 500 milliwatts, I sometimes increase my power to 5 watts or 10 watts (my maximum power) to send my name, QTH, RIG, ANT, WX, etc., depending on the band conditions.
I consider the contact as a QRPp contact at 500 milliwatts.
