2m FT8

I awoke early and there were no overnight spots here on 2m FT8 RX. Most sensible humans are asleep!

UPDATE 1110z: A recent 2m FT8 CQ was only spotted by G8TTI (186km).

UPDATE 1855z: I just returned to 2m FT8. A CQ resulted in a local QSO with GB3CAM (13km) and 29 spots in 5 countries with my best DX being GI6ATZ (479km). Not bad for 10W to my big-wheel. On 2m FT8 RX 22 countries in 5 countries spotted just now.

UPDATE 2010z: Now 55 stations in 7 countries spotted on 2m FT8 RX this evening. Best DX on 2m FT8 RX this evening is OZ5NM (754km).

UPDATE 2040z: I just called 2m FT8 CQ with 10W to the big-wheel. 34 spots and 3 QSOs resulted. I noticed that a station in Devon is calling a Polish station. There must be a lift. On RX 69 stations spotted today on 2m FT8 RX in 7 countries. Most of these were this evening.
