After lunch I may try 70cm FT8 with my 2m big-wheel omni antenna. In contests I usually spot plenty of stations in the Netherlands, but I don't recall trying 70cm FT8 at other times. I guess my problems will be (1) distance, (2) lack of monitors, (3) power and antenna.
My theory is some quite remarkable distances are being spanned by some sort of scatter.
UPDATE 1115z: Turned on.
UPDATE 1215z: No spots. QRT. on 70cm. Moving to 10m FT8.
