6m FT8 RX

Although the better UK stations on 6m FT8 are working Japan, none spotted here today again on my modest set-up. I guess signals are weak and a big, high beam helps. So far today,16 stations spotted with best DX EA8BEV (3126km) in the Canary Is. It would be good to spot just one!

UPDATE 0943z: Now 35 stations spotted this morning on 6m FT8 RX. Still no Japanese! 😢

UPDATE 1115z:  70 stations spotted this morning on 6m FT8 RX with best DX 4X4DK (3580km). My own CQ was widely spotted across Europe.

UPDATE 1525z: My 6m FT8 signal has been spotted by 61 stations today, so far. There was some Es 4 hours ago, but most reports are from the UK and nearer Europe.
