6m FT8

As the storm risk was low here, I reconnected the rig, PSU and PC. At the moment the worst storms are further north.

12 reports of my CQ (no QSOs) and 15 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX. Best DX spot on TX was 9A5CW (1253km).

UPDATE  1555z: "One swallow does not make a summer", as they say, but it is getting late in the Es season and the only Es here today on 6m FT8 RX is from the north. I said before that my unscientific observations were that late openings seem to favour more northerly stations. Yes, we'll still see southern Europe, but it will be interesting to see if northern Europeans predominate.

UPDATE 2030z:  Now QRT. In all, 18 stations spotted today on 6m FT8 RX.
