10mW 10m WSPR (Friday)

This morning I am continuing my 10mW WSPR TX on 10m. Already I am being spotted well by 2 stations, I confidently expect to be spotted in the USA for a 4th day in a row. 


UPDATE 1427z: 
 6 stations have spotted my 10mW 10m WSPR today. It seems stations in the USA copy my 10mW 10m WSPR every day.

UPDATE 1935z: 7 stations spotted my 10mW 10m WSPR today, including 3 in the USA.
