160m FT8 RX

Within 30 seconds I spotted more stations on 160m FT8 than all day on 10m FT8. At the moment, 45 stations spotted this evening on 160m FT8 with best DX 4K6FO (3964km).

UPDATE 1956z:  Now 106 stations spotted on 160m FT8 RX this evening.

UPDATE 2204z: I think I have just spotted a pirate on 160m FT8. Strange that a station purporting to be Japanese is widely copied in Europe, but gets not a single spot from Japan!! Also, the idiot decides to operate on 1.84kHz which the Japanese are not allowed to TX on. So far this evening 233 stations spotted on 160m FT8 RX using the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground.
