This evening is the FT8 activity contest (UKAC) on 70cm organised by the RSGB. The frequency used in Europe is 432.174MHz.
Later I shall try TX with 5W although at the moment I am RX only. My antenna is my 144MHz big-wheel omni.
UPDATE 1528z: Already, well before the contest, my signal has reached France, the Netherlands, N.Ireland, Cornwall and northern England despite 5W and a 2m omni antenna! Currently gone back to RX only.
UPDATE 1620z: No RSGB 70cm UKAC contest this evening. I was wrong!
