70cm FT8 (Monday)

Although it probably won't be good before tonight, I shall be going on 70cm shortly. During the day I shall call CQ occasionally on FT8 with 2.5W and the V2000 vertical omni antenna. 

UPDATE 1125z:  A brief QRP TX session was spotted by nobody. On 70cm FT8 RX 2 stations (both Gs) have been spotted.

UPDATE 1342z:  Although this could be tropo, I think scatter is more likely. GI6ATZ (479km) and a GW have been copied on 70cm FT8 RX with just the vertical omni antenna. My brief TX transmission just now was spotted by nobody. In all, 4 stations spotted on 70cm FT8 RX.
