70cm FT8 QRP (Thursday)

For a change, I am on 70cm FT8, outside of a contest. It is now 1630z and I have been on the band for about 30 minutes. Already I have spotted PA3EOU (337km) and my 2.5W to the vertical V2000 omni has been spotted by G0KTN (211km). I must try 70cm FT8 more often.

UPDATE 1827z:  6 stations in 3 countries spotted.

UPDATE 2235z:  24 stations spotted on RX. My brief transmission resulted in 1 QSO and 5 people spotting me.
