Although the activity contest does not start until 2000z, I think there is a European 70cm FT8 contest earlier. I put my IC-705 on 5W FT8 at about 1900z. Already my station has been copied as far away as 150km has spotted me and I have spotted 2 stations on RX in Germany at 479km. All this was with just a 144MHz big-wheel omni antenna!
UPDATE 2025z: My signal has been copied in Holland by PI4VPO (263km).
