6m FT8 today

Yet again, I am on 6m FT8 RX at the moment. There are lots of EU stations being spotted by Es. As yet, no "real DX"  being spotted here. At the moment, my small system is not copying as much (30 stations) as I did with JT65. My antenna is just the V2000 omni vertical fed with CB coax.

UPDATE 1709z: Now 101 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX today.

I saw a comment from some HAM from my country on fb. He claimed to made his first JA on 6m with a V2000 antenna. He didn't tell how much power he used though. But it is certainly possible when propagation is as good as last saturday. 73, Bas

Still no "real DX" here today again. I think I may be losing another dB or so in the coax and this is important with weak signals. Next season I will have to change the coax!
