6m QRP FT8 (Thursday)
Looking at my Facebook memories today, I noticed that I monitored 6m FT8 a few years ago and was spotted by several stations by mid-winter Es. So, I have decided to try 50.313MHz FT8 with my 2.5W and V2000 vertical omni. At 0925z, just one G spotting me with a couple of stations received including a station in Brittany, France.
UPDATE 1224z: Several G spots of me. Best DX on RX was a station in Germany.
UPDATE 1500z: There looks to be some winter Es about. I have been spotted by 10 stations and have spotted stations on 6m FT8 as far as southern France.
UPDATE 1902z: 14 stations have spotted me including 3 in Scandinavia, presumably by winter Es.
630m QRP overnight
A disappointing night with just 6 stations spotting me. Certainly in the UK it was very windy and this may have put off some with high antennas.

630m QRP WSPR (Wednesday)
At 1620z, my QRP 630m WSPR was turned on. As usual 10mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground.
UPDATE 2025z: 5 stations have spotted me. Furthermost PA0LSB/V (326km).
10m QRPP WSPR TX (Wednesday)
My 500uW (0.5mW) WSPR TX tests continue. Today, I was spotted by DF1VB (506km) . At this tiny power I have been spotted by 4 stations on 3 continents. I have been amazed by these results.

630m QRP WSPR overnight
Ten stations spotted my 10mW ERP 630m WSPR overnight. No great DX, but more active stations than I was expecting just after Christmas.
