10m 500mW WSPR TX (Saturday)

My 10m QRP WSPR beacon was turned on about 0909z. No spots yet.

UPDATE 0935z:   3 stations have spotted me today.

UPDATE 1417z:   5 stations have spotted me.

8m QRP FT8 (Saturday)

My 2.5W to the dipole was turned on at 0909z. So far, just local spots. 

UPDATE 1622z:  S50B (1220km) in Slovenia has also spotted me.

UPDATE 1639z:  Judging by results on 10m, I do not think 8m F2 conditions have been exceptional.  With my QRP, I think conditions have to be very good.
