Every time I go on TX, I get spotted at great range, even though I only use 10W to a big-wheel omni antenna. So far this morning (at 1047z) 32 stations have spotted my 10W in 4 countries including DL, GI, GC and G. Best DX spot was (again) by GI6ATZ (479km). Although some reports might be random MS, flat band tropo and aircraft, I suspect most are some kind of scatter, as this sort of range seems to be possible at any time.
UPDATE 1310z: Now spotted by 41 stations in 5 countries in the last 12 hours.Did someone say 2m is quiet?
UPDATE 1507z: Now 50 spots of my 10W in 6 countries on 2m FT8 in the last 12 hours. It would appear lots are watching 2m FT8!
UPDATE 2112z: Now 70 spots of my 10W in 7 countries in the last 12 hours.
