In all, 13 stations spotted the 10mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground (see table).
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.
Solar flux is 176 and the SSN 179. A=14 and K=1.
My QRP station was turned on at about 1945z. So far, a spot by G6AVK.
At about 1300z my 8m QRP FT8 was turned on. So far spots by 9 stations (see map). Good F2 conditions. Probably my best day ever on the band with both Europe and the Caribbean stations spotting me.
In the last few days (until today) I had given up on 8m. Today, I am back on the band and have been spotted by 4 stations including 2 in the Caribbean. F2 conditions appear to be quite good still. It is worth keeping an eye on propagation including the MUF.
My gear has been on much of the morning. UPDATE 1645z: Spotted by 147 stations with the best D4L (4517 km) and 159 stations spotted here in...
