10m FT8

On John EI7GL's advice I am giving 10m FT8 a go. An initial 2.5W FT8 CQ  at about 0900z was spotted by no-one and now I am RX only on 10m FT8.

UPDATE 1216z: EA4IL (1370km) spotted on 10m FT8 RX. There is life on 10m!

UPDATE 1413z: 3 stations spotted today on 10m FT8. 2 were Spanish and 1 was a local.  A recent 10m FT8 CQ (2.5W) was spotted by no-one. I can run more power. Perhaps I should? I can increase the power about 8dB.

UPDATE 1640z: A recent 10m FT8 CQ was again spotted by no-one and no further stations have been spotted here today on 10m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1840z: Sometime in the last 2 hours my Windows 10 PC decided to turn off WSJT-X. I really am heartily fed up with Microsoft.
