As usual, I am monitoring 6m FT8 RX, whilst getting on with jobs. For the first time since May the grass is being trimmed lightly. Most of it is brown!
At the moment the openings seem to be favouring Iberia and north Africa with Western Sahara and The Canaries spotted. There was an EA9 copied, but I suspect this may be a pirate.
UPDATE 1232z: 26 different stations in 9 countries spotted so far today on 6m FT8 RX.
UPDATE 1445z: N4BP (7118km) in Florida, USA spotted on 6m FT8 RX. Pretty sure he is genuine as he has been widely spotted in the USA and Caribbean.
UPDATE 1702z: Now 5 different USA stations received on 6m FT8 RX. Best DX is W5RWF (7365km) in Mississippi.
Spotted Bahrain this morning A92HK with several CQ. Best decode -4dB. However he didn't see me. FT8 is not always that easy especially when noise is high. 73, Bas
