8m experiment (Wednesday)

Later, I hope to be on 8m TX on 40.680 MHz USB dial FT8 QRP again. Still getting DX spots even with my low ERP in the last few days. 

UPDATE 1152z:  Gear turned on at 0859z. No spots. I have the feeling there will be none today, although I am ever hopeful!

UPDATE 1520z:  EI9KP (649km) has spotted me on 8m QRP FT8.

  1. The only reception I had today was the Irish beacon on 40.013 MHz briefly around 1300z which psk reporter didn't log.

  2. I tried a vertical antenna for the last couple of days monitoring FT8 but only got a couple of false decodes. Still running my 1watt wspr tx to dipole, not that anyone seems to see it lately.
