10m QRP FT8 (Thursday)


For a change, I am on 10m FT8 with 1W from the FT817ND. After about 20 minutes, 8 spots of my 1W and 42 spots of others.

Stations spotted on 10m FT8 RX today

UPDATE 1025z: 1 QSO, 11 unique stations have spotted me and I have spotted 88 stations.

UPDATE 1106z:  2 QSOs and 108 stations have been spotted on 10m FT8 RX today. At a guess, I would guess the FT8 10m activity is at least 4 times higher than on WSPR.

UPDATE 1315z:  3 QSOs and 22 stations have spotted my 1W FT8.  On RX, 214 stations have spotted me.

    I would agree with your comment re the relative numbers of people on 10m FT-8 versus 10m WSPR. The other day I ran some WSPR transmissions on 10m with 5 watts and had only one report (my antenna does not perform well on 28MHz). I then ran some test transmissions on the same band with 500 milliwatts of FT-8 and received 25 reports….!
