80m FT8 (Tuesday)

As 6m was so poor, I QSYed to 80m FT8 using the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground. Although I am receiving spots of my signal from right across Europe, it says I am receiving none. This is rubbish as I can see loads of stations locally. Either there is a delay with uploads from me or, more probably, my spots are not getting to PSKreporter. Shortly I shall do reset to see if this cures it.

UPDATE 1922z:  The reset did the trick with lots of spots on RX. On TX 36 unique station spots of me so far.

UPDATE 2119z:  112 stations have spotted my 10W 80m FT8 TX this evening. Now QRT on all bands.
