2m FT8

Although it is very early I have already spotted 5 stations in 3 countries on 2m FT8 this morning.  Not sure if these are via flat band tropo or aircraft scatter. Probably some of each?

UPDATE 1255z: Now 21 stations spotted in 5 countries so far today on 2m FT8 RX. My best DX today on 2m FT8 RX is GI0OTC (561km) in Northern Ireland.

UPDATE 1354z: A brief 2m FT8 CQ just now resulted in no QSOs. However, it was widely spotted with my best DX being a spot (again) by EI2FG (565km) in southern Eire.

UPDATE 1600z: Now 34 stations in 5 countries spotted today on 2m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1626z: Amazing! A brief 2m FT8 CQ (10W to the big-wheel omni) was widely spotted and I was called by DO8SAS (601km). On 2m FT8 RX I have spotted 35 stations so far today.

UPDATE 2035z: 36 stations spotted so far today on 2m FT8 RX using the big-wheel omni antenna.

UPDATE 2052z: 53 stations in 8 countries spotted in the last day on 2m FT8 RX, even with my pathetic antenna!
