At the moment I am on 8m FT8 TX on 40.680 MHz USB dial. So far, just 1 local spot of me. Later I shall be just on RX.
UPDATE 0836z: RX only now on 8m FT8 on 40.680 MHz USB dial. Nobody spotted. I hope more stations in Europe manage to get 8m permits this Es season.
UPDATE 0941z: Nobody spotted.
UPDATE 1135z: G9PUV (158km), near Brighton, spotted on 8m FT8 this morning. At the strength I got him (off the side of the dipole) I don't think he would spot me. Maybe on WSPR?
UPDATE 1507z: Still on 40.680 MHz (8m) FT8 RX. Just 1 station spotted today so far.
UPDATE 1947z: QRT soon. One possible first (to be confirmed) is the reception on 8m of an EI station by VP8ADR/40 in the Falkland Islands. It would be good if VP8s could TX on 8m, but I am not sure what the law there says.
