8m QRP FT8 (Thursday)

 As the storm risk seems low, I turned on my 2.5W 8m FT8 to the dipole at 1245z.

UPDATE 1304z:  2 stations have spotted me - 1 local G4WSZ (12km) and one in Spain EA3ERE (1153km).

UPDATE 1400z: Spotted in South Africa by ZR1ADI (9777km). He called me, but conditions had changed and we were unable to complete. Still, this was the first time I have been spotted in the Southern Hemisphere on 8m.
