8m QRP yesterday

Stations spotting
my 2.5W FT8
on 8m yesterday 

Since getting back on 8m FT8 2 days ago, I have been spotted by stations in 5 countries on QRP FT8. Yesterday it was Portugal, Eire and England.  

Most 8m FT8 activity is on 40.680 MHz USB dial. We need more monitors please!

If you can get limited access to the 8m band - suggest the ISM frequencies - from your national PTT. Just 5 kHz at 40.680 MHz would be a start. Maybe ask for just a year to experiment and research around sunspot maximum? WSPR and FT8 only?
