6m FT8

A recent 6m FT8 CQ was spotted by 6 stations with best DX being OZ9QV (861km). On RX not a single spot yet.

Stations spotted so far today 
on 6m FT8 RX (to 1252z)
UPDATE 1156z: Plenty of stations (64) now coming through, many by Es, today on 6m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1252z: 74 stations from all over Europe spotted in the last 12 hours in 6m FT8 RX. Who said the Es season is over?

UPDATE  1610z: When the storms "stopped play" 96 stations spotted with best DX on 6m FT8 RX being 4X1SK (3566km) in Israel.

UPDATE 1705z: The storm seems to have moved westwards, so everything was reconnected. I called CQ on 6m FT8 and worked a YO2. The best DX of me on 6m FT8 TX was 9H1PI (2130km) on Malta. Now 125 stations spotted here today in the last 12 hours on 6m FT8 RX with the V2000 vertical omni antenna.

UPDATE 2020z: When I eventually "pulled the plug" because of storms (again) 146 stations were spotted on 6m FT8 RX. I have since QSYed to MF WSPR.
