At the moment I am trying 6m FT8 at 10mW using my IC-705 with an attenuator right on the output of the IC-705 and setting the 6m power at an appropriate level.
UPDATE 0900z: Now on 6m FT8 with 10mW FT8. No spots!
UPDATE 1422z: Even with just 10mW, via poor coax to a V2000 vertical omni, 6 stations have spotted me on 6m FT8, some very strongly. As I keep saying, 10mW ERP is enough to be spotted across Europe. If it works on 6m it will work on 8m without a licence for anyone using ISM rules.UPDATE 1500z: It gets even better! Now spotted by 14 stations across Europe with just 10mW 6m FT8. Who needs much power when Es is good!
