My gear was turned on at about 0700z. FT8 is a very impressive mode, although not for chatting.
UPDATE 1001z: 84 stations have spotted me with the best 9K2RA-2 (4641km) in Kuwait. Really going down to 1W has made little difference, apart from increasing the fun. I might stick at this power in future, or try even lower! I think the lowest from the IC-705 is 500mW, although I can always add the 15dB attenuator.
UPDATE 1820z: 352 stations have spotted my 1W FT8. See map.
UPDATE 2024z: QRT.
