8m experiment (Friday)

Most seem to think that the reception of me by HC02 (1808km) in Portugal yesterday was either Es or MS. Later this morning I expect to be on 40.680 MHz USB dial QRP FT8 again. If I get any 8m reports that would be pleasing, although I have no great hopes.

UPDATE 0837z:   8m FT8 QRP TX gear turned on at 0834z.  Immediately spotted by Hugh HC02 (1808km). Thank you!

UPDATE 1241z:  No further spots today. Currently the gear is off, back on about 1330z.

UPDATE 1326z:  As I have had no further spots of me, I have QSYed to 30m with the Miracle Whip on the shack windowsill.
