20m FT8 with the tiny indoor loop

If you have no access to outside antennas I can thoroughly recommend loops. As you know from earlier posts I like FT8 as frequency changes are very small, so once on frequency there is little need to retune. For their size, these work far better than expected.

I have not been on 20m FT8 very long, but my 10W has already been spotted in 2 countries and I have spotted 13 stations. One issue I find is a lack of reports if I am on the same frequency as a much stronger station. A small change of frequency (100-200Hz) normally solves the problem.

UPDATE 1020z:  Now 31 stations (all European) copied so far today on 20m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1147z:  Now 48 spots of my 10W 20m FT8 with the best being a spot by J69DS (6840km). On 20m FT8 RX now 119 spots including Japan, the Caribbean and the USA.

UPDATE 1352z:  Now 69 stations have spotted my tiny signal today on 20m FT8. On 20m FT8 RX 230 stations spotted so far today.

Stations spotting my 10W 20m FT8 TX today 

UPDATE 1620z: 108 spots of my 10W so far today on 20m FT8 TX with the tiny indoor loop. On RX 327 stations spotted so far.

UPDATE 1910z: 110 stations have spotted me today and 500 stations were spotted me today on 20m FT8.

UPDATE 2116z: QRT now after my best outing yet on 20m FT8 with the tiny loop. Quite remarkable!
