Yesterday underlined the difficulty with 10m WSPR. Overall I am surprised that people are still using WSPR on 10m. At a guess, I would say activity levels are at most 10% of those of FT8. Most days I get spotted on 10m WSPR, but FT8 spots and QSOs are easier.
FT8 is about 10dB worse than WSPR, but it does allow real QSOs with 15 second TX periods compared with 120 seconds for WSPR. This makes FT8 better for shorter openings.
In all, 6 unique stations spotted my 10m WSPR yesterday.
