2m FT8 RX

Although I am monitoring 2m FT8 RX again, there have been no spots so far today. Perhaps we have had a lift in the last few days and things are returning to normal?

UPDATE 1030z: An FT8 QSO on 2m with G8ALS (127km) and PA4X (403km) spotted in Limburg. Perhaps it was too early!

UPDATE 1126z: Now spotted 15 uniques in 3 countries. I had a QSO (2m FT8) with David G0LRD (26km) when he was using 1mW and good copy on the big-wheel. He was -21dB on a 3el in the loft with 300uW!!

UPDATE 1350z: Now 30 uniques in 5 countries.

UPDATE 1730z: Now 39 uniques in 7 countries.

UPDATE 2030z: The photo shows the stations spotted here on 2m FT8 in the last 12 hours.

    Hi

    Roger it`s a fun mode on VHF I don`t like leaving my ic910h on for hours on end so I have swapped it on rx for a cheap RTL 820T2 SDR Dongle. I bought it from http://www.hamgoodies.co.uk I am surprised how well it works with sdr sharp a vb cable to x-wsjt. Fun this radio stuff.

    Cheers
