My QRP FT8 to the V2000 omni antenna has been on since just after breakfast. One Far East station (I think genuine) has spotted me.
UPDATE 1443z: Spotted by 142 stations on 4 continents. I suspect the station in Canada was a transitory patch of multi hop Es. At a similar time another station in Newfoundland was spotted on 6m FT8 RX.
UPDATE 1917z: 349 stations have spotted me. See map. Amazing DX on 6m FT8 with 5W and a vertical omni antenna. 5 continents on 6m FT8 QRP today! Furthest is LU2GPB (10405km) in Argentina. I suspect this is Es linking with equatorial spread-F.
UPDATE 2000z: 361 spots of me. Now QRT.
