No spots of me today on 40.680MHz FT8, although I did spot ZR1ADI (9777km) in Western Cape, South Africa on FT8. It looks like Bernard VA2CYX was struggling to be copied across the Atlantic. He is thinking of going to FT8. If I try FT8 with ISM rules (10mW ERP) it is doubtful I would be copied on 8m. WSPR would be better, but there are fewer monitors.
UPDATE 1650z: The good news is S50B is back on 8m with a vertical Sirio antenna. Borut had suffered antenna damage earlier.
UPDATE 2300z: No further spots.
