20m FT8 on the tiny indoor loop

A few moments ago I turned on 20m FT8 using the only 20m antenna I have: the tiny indoor loop.

Plenty of stations coming in on RX including lots of Japanese stations with the best DX so far on 20m FT8 RX being JQ2QHQ (9526km).

On TX (10W) just one spot so far EU1SW (1799km).

UPDATE 1202z: 227 stations spotted so far on 20m FT8 RX with 5 spots of my 10W 20m FT8 TX with best being WW1WW (3255 miles).

UPDATE 1953z: 39 spots of my 10W to the tiny indoor loop antenna. On 20m FT8 RX 668 stations spotted. Now QRT on 20m.
