10m 2.5W FT8 (Saturday)

At 1534z I decided to QSY to 10m QRP FT8.  Although I spotted a PY station immediately, nothing has yet appeared on PSKreporter. Maybe they have a delay?  I re-synced to internet time before I QSYed.

UPDATE 1700z:  Spotted by 18 stations with the furthermost A65MR (5475km).

UPDATE 2031z:  spotted by 135 stations with the furthermost PU5FLP (10086km). Now QRT.

10m 500mW WSPR TX (Saturday)

My beacon was turned on at about 0825z. No spots yet.

UPDATE 1005z: 6 stations have spotted me - all German. A patch of Es?

10m 500mW WSPR TX (Friday)

My 500mW 10m WSPR beacon was turned on at about 0740z. So far, 6 spots of my QRP beacon. These look like Es and F2. 

The furthermost is EA8BFK (2880km), which I think is F2.

UPDATE 0902z:  Spotted by 12 stations (see table).

UPDATE 1055z:  Spotted by 14 stations.

10m 500mW WSPR (Thursday)

My QRP WSPR beacon has been on this afternoon. So far, at 1614z, 5 spots with the furthermost EA8BFK (2880km).

10m 500mW WSPR (Wednesday)

So far today, at 0905z, my little 10m WSPR beacon has been spotted by 2 stations with the furthermost EA8BFK (2880km).

I am wondering how many are now using other modes instead of WSPR like FSW4? Sadly I can only do WSPR with my beacon TX.

UPDATE 1734z:  Spotted by 14 stations. See table.

10m QRP WSPR TX (Tuesday)

Already my 500mW 10m WSPR beacon has been spotted by 7 stations in the last hour alone.

UPDATE 1019z:   18 stations have spotted me this morning. See table. Now need the antenna for 8m!

10m QRP WSPR (Monday)

My 500mW 10m WSPR beacon was turned on earlier. It looks like there is Es about.

UPDATE 1028z:  Now spotted by 4 stations. I suspect the EA8 and 5B4 are F2 rather than Es.

UPDATE 1830z:  20 stations have spotted me today. See table.

As the 10m antenna is available when I am on 6m, I turned my 500mW 10m WSPR beacon on. So far today, 23 stations have spotted me (see table). 

10m QRP WSPR (Saturday)

Just spots of my 500mW 10m WSPR beacon from G4KPX (14km) so far.

10m FT8 RX

With 10m so good at the moment, may I remind you of my very simple and low cost 10m FT8 RX? 10FT8R is a DSB receiver than works remarkably well. You will not miss much of the action and it could be built for the cost of a few coffees out!

10m 500mW WSPR TX (Wednesday)

My 10m WSPR beacon is on. I was surprised (again) to be spotted at 0034z by HB9TMC (905km). Es really is sporadic!

UPDATE 2104z:  26 stations have spotted my 500mW 10m WSPR 

10m QRP WSPR TX (Tuesday)

10m QRP WSPR overnight

Yesterday I think the lack of spots was due to a coax fault now mended.

Overnight I was surprised to be spotted by 6 stations some right in the middle of the night.
