Without an external attenuator, 500mW FT8 is the lowest power I can run from my IC-705. It was turned on at about 0945z.
UPDATE 1036z: So far, spotted by 83 stations. It is still too easy!! Furthest is RN4WA (3365km).
UPDATE 1433z: 231 stations have spotted me including VO1CH (3737km). See map. I think I'll stick with 500mW today, but might try 50mW 10m FT8 another day. At 500mW FT8, I have no problem at all getting lots of spots on 10m. Furthest is a spot by HZ1BQ (4465km).
UPDATE 1640z: 250 stations have spotted my 10m 500mW FT8. Furthest is W4SPF (7202km).
UPDATE 1708z: QRT.
