6m FT8 RX surprise

Today, I am on 6m FT8 RX on 50.313MHz.

I was quite expecting to spot no-one at all. Instead, 6 Gs spotted so far. My antenna is the V2000 vertical omni with low cost (lossy!) CB cable.

UPDATE 1415z: So far today 17 stations in 3 countries spotted on 6m FT8 RX with best DX HB9SHD (761km).

UPDATE 1846z: 22 stations in 3 countries spotted today on 6m FT8 RX. Far better than I was expecting. The photo shows the stations spotted today on 6m FT8 RX with the V2000 vertical omni antenna.

    Interesting to see the level of 'local' activity on 6m. Wonder if many are from aircraft scatter?

    Very quiet today on 10m. Heard just 3 stations here so you missed nothing.
