10m FT8

Since just before 1500z this afternoon, I QSYed to 10m FT8 using the poorer indoor loop and 2.5W.  Every time I have tried 10m FT8 recently there have been South Americans spotted.  Today was no exception.  I am not sure if this is just F layer all the way or TEP linking with E layer further north. Interestingly, I was spotting EA1 (Northern Spain) at the same time. On TX briefly no spots of me.

Stations spotted today
on 10m FT8 RX

UPDATE 1928z:  73 stations spotted in 3 continents on 10m FT8 RX today so far including 5 in South America. I was going to QSY to 2m, but left 10m FT8 RX running as it was still open. Most stations were in Spain and Portugal.
