Spotted in the USA on 8m ....at last
At last, my 8m QRP FT8 has been spotted in the USA by 2 stations with the furthermost N2OTO in Florida (7094km). I am still on 40.680 MHz QRP FT8. I think this was F2 propagation. It was a matter of time.
Congrats Roger, propagation is very good these days. Next thing a QSO with USA? I did read in WW1L's blog that others are using 40.050 as FT8 frequency. Everyone should use the same frequency otherwise nothing will happen. 73, Bas
Finally! Congratulations, Roger, and well done on your persistence.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t copy anything myself except Pennsylvania Fire and Rescue on 33MHz attending a road traffic accident (!!) They were full quieting here.

Great news Roger!
ReplyDeleteJust goes to show what can be achieved with a QRP station and simple antenna.
Hope you get many more spots and some QSO's
