It is now 0950z. In a few moments I expect to be on 8m TX on 40.680 (TX first) with my 2.5W FT8 QRP and low dipole.
UPDATE 1101z: On now. No spots.
UPDATE 1335z: G0HVQ (181km) has spotted my QRP 8m FT8.
UPDATE 1452z: EI9KP (649km) has spotted me ....again ... on 8m FT8.
UPDATE 1815z: S50B (1220km) has now spotted my 2.5W FT8 on 8m today. Today is probably my best day on 8m for several months. Winter Es for S50B? The propagation to EI9KP still puzzles me. It must be some sort of scatter - aircraft, random MS or tropo?
