10m FT8

Although I have been on 10m FT8 since before breakfast, calling CQ initially (2.5W), no spots at all yet.

UPDATE 0900z: Just PA3BGQ (272km) spotted so far. This could be tropo or aircraft.

UPDATE 1037z: Now 4 stations spotted on 10m FT8 RX with best DX DJ1AA (660km).

UPDATE 1230z: Now 7 stations spotted on 10m FT8 RX with best DX LZ2II (2093km).

UPDATE 1740z: Now 72 EU stations spotted today on 10m FT8 RX. Presumably Es. No "real DX" here as yet on 10m today. I was half hoping we'd see some Es linking with F2 further south, meaning we might get some South American DX on 10m FT8 RX.

  1. I noticed on the 2nd of May that you were certainly hearing a lot more than me as you were closer to the Sp-E over Eastern Europe. According to the PSK Reporter website, you heard 91 stations compared to 43 for me.

    I wonder if you check your heard traffic on the WSJT-X programme? I heard multi hop signals from Lebanon and Cyprus but these didn't get uploaded to PSK Reporter.

    I also heard UW5EJX/MM off the coast of Angola and again, nothing on PSK Reporter.
