6m FT8 today

Yet again, I am on 6m FT8 RX at the moment. There are lots of EU stations being spotted by Es. As yet, no "real DX"  being spotted here. At the moment, my small system is not copying as much (30 stations) as I did with JT65. My antenna is just the V2000 omni vertical fed with CB coax.

UPDATE 1709z: Now 101 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX today.

Micronations - NOT amateur radio
