2m FT8

Once again, I am on 2m FT8 using 10W to the big-wheel omni antenna. So far (to 0912z) 5 stations have spotted me with the best DX being 2 stations in north Devon.

UPDATE 1230z: So far 21 stations in 5 countries have spotted me today.

UPDATE 1430z:  Now 30 stations in 6 countries have spotted my 10W FT8 to the big-wheel omni today.

UPDATE 2120z: Now QRT.  In all, 52 stations spotted my 10W in the last day on 2m FT8 TX with with the most distant being SM0MDG (1364km) in Sweden.

Hi.

But how many did you work?

Personally, I'm not a fan of FT8(4), but I do think CQ'ing for hours at a time every other timeslot, is a little excessive. (At least the signal is clean.)

But each to their own.

Hi Dave,

Most days I work many stations. For me seeing where my 10W to the big-wheel omni reaches is quite amazing. If anyone calls me I try to work them.
