Interesting results, Roger. I have also taken to monitoring 160m FT8 using my 40m end-fed half-wave as an antenna. My results have been similar to yours, EXCEPT for North America where so far I have heard only one station. I did, however, copy the station in South Africa which is quite a distance - I noted that you heard him too the other night which is very impressive for an earth probe antenna!
