2m FT8 RX FT8

Overnight I stayed on 2m FT8 RX with most of the stations spotted in the last few hours. In all, 12 stations spotted in the last 6 hours. Several  Germans spotted with the best DX being F6DXX (570km).

UPDATE 1115z: In the last 6 hours 49 stations in 7 countries spotted on 2m FT8 RX using the big-wheel omni with best DX spotted being DL1GI (657km). This sort of DX seems to be possible every day, irrespective of tropo conditions. Quite amazing.

UPDATE 2114z:  No less than 94 stations spotted here in the last 12 hours on 2m FT8 RX. Quite remarkable considering I am just using a big-wheel omni.

UPDATE 2118z: A recent 2m FT8 CQ got 1 QSO and 39 spots of my 10W. My best spot was by OZ5NM (754km) in Denmark.
