160m FT8 RX yesterday

324 stations spotted on 160m FT8 RX in the last day (see map) including the USA and Mexico. This is with just the short coax to my 2m big-wheel loaded via a ferrite rod with a mains plug ground!

The coax is about 10m long and the big-wheel about 5m above ground. The coax is about 50cm off the ground at its lowest. The ferrite rod "ATU" is shown. Absolutely nothing special! 

If I can do this I am sure you can too.
