10m QRP FT8 (Friday)

Change of plan!

I think my SignaLink USB (or lead) has developed a fault after over 20 years. After a brief period on 10m WSPR with my beacon, I am on 10m QRP FT8 with the QDX.  At 1031z, I have been spotted by 91 stations. 

The QDX is about the size of a pack of cards i.e. tiny.

Also, I am having issues booting up my QMX+ rig today.  It  keeps coming up with a dim display and not initialising. 

Without the SignaLink interface or QMX+ I am unable to use FT8 at 8m or 6m, which is a pity. I suppose I could use the IC705 at 6m for FT8. At present I was using the QMX+ for 6m and the FT817ND (dealer modified) for 8m.

UPDATE 1415z: Spotted by 303 stations on 10m FT8 TX. See map.
