2m FT8

A QSO with M0MWS (195km) was not a bad start on 2m FT8 today with 2.5W and a big-wheel! So far, 16 uniques spotted in 4 countries. Best DX on RX is DK1VC (503km).

UPDATE 1046z: Now 18 uniques in 4 countries in last 6 hours on 2n FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1300z: 35 uniques in 7 countries so far today on 2m FT8 RX.

2m FT8 RX today up to 1600z - amazing!

UPDATE 1429z: Now 47 uniques in 7 countries today so far on 2m FT8 RX. Quite amazing.

UPDATE 1612z: Now 57 uniques spotted in 8 countries, just using the standard FT817 (no preamps) with a big-wheel omni antenna. Scarcely credible!
