Overnight on 160m FT8 RX

A week ago very few were using WSJT-X V2.0. Now a great many are using the new 77 bit FT8 protocol. As well as countless Europeans and some Asiatic Russians, 6 North Americans spotted with the new FT8 protocol with best DX AA7A (8369km) in New Mexico, USA.

Once again using the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground. 160m FT8 with this "antenna" is astounding me.

It seems most have now switched to the new standard.
See https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html.  Look for WSJT-X V2.0.
