6m FT8

Lots of short pings on my waterfall, which I guess could be Perseids MS pings.

So far just a couple of Gs spotted my 6m FT8 TX CQ call just now.

On 6m FT8 RX 10 spots so far (0855z) with best being EA1TF (1164km) in northern Spain.

UPDATE 0908z: A very recent CQ call got only G spots. On 6m FT8 RX 11 stations spotted with best DX being IS0AWZ (1598km).

UPDATE 1010z: Now 15 stations spotted today on 6m FT8 RX, proving that FT8 allows the Es season to be seen going in far longer than many assume on 6m.  As 6m FT8 is so easy, I may QSY to 2m FT8 or even 70cms FT8.

UPDATE 1745z: It looks like the Es opening(s) today are over. In all, 26 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX. Soon be time to try another band.
