My QRP signal has now been copied in 4 countries (UK, Eire, Portugal and Croatia). With the Es season upon us now, I should reach Slovenia OK. If I am copied further, that would be an unexpected bonus.
Earlier today (around 0650z) my 40.680MHz FT8 gear was turned on. This was spotted by EI9KP (649km). It is now on RX only (no spots).
My rig is a widebanded FT817ND and the antenna a low wire dipole.
UPDATE 1232z: S59F (1205km) spotted on 8m FT8 RX. Definitely Es.
UPDATE 1527z: EI9KP has copied me more than once today and at times very strongly Currently QRT (TX cooling!), but will be back on FT8 TX shortly on 40.680 MHz USB dial.
