2m FT8

So far 7 unique stations in 2 countries spotted so far on 2m FT8 RX.

Yet again my 2.5W QRP to my big-wheel omni CQ was widely spotted including by G7RAU (461km) on the Lizard in Cornwall. Just a QSO with G8ALS again.

UPDATE 1045z: Now 16 different stations in 4 countries on 2m FT8 RX with best DX DF7IW (612km). Omni antenna still.

UPDATE 1245z: 19 different stations in 4 countries today so far on 2m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1509z: Now 28 different stations in 4 countries spotted here today so far on 2m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1920z: EA1UR (1195km) in  the north of Spain is currently the best DX on 2m FT8 RX. Pretty sure he is genuine as he is getting strong reports from relatively near Spanish stations. He is being widely received. Not sure if this is tropo, aircraft reflection, or a combination of both. Anyway, I am pretty sure this is among the best DX on 2m ever, excluding Es.
