Now on 160m FT8

My recent 160m FT8 CQ (2.5W) was spotted by 2 Belgians and by G3TXL (360km) in Devon. On 160m FT8 RX 3 stations in 3 countries spotted so far today.

As usual, I am using the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground. I am pretty sure this acts like a loop on 160m.

UPDATE 1602z: Now 11 stations in 4 countries spotted today on 160m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 2150z: WU1ITU (4831km) was first spotted at 2040z. Again, lots of Europeans with best DX to the east RW6PA (3462km) in Chechnya.
