160m FT8

For the last few hours I have been on 160m FT8 using 10W and the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground. At 2300z 159 stations spotted so far. An earlier CQ was spotted widely in western Europe.

At the moment I am monitoring 1908kHz in the hope of catching a few Japanese stations on FT8. A few Europeans are operating up there, but nothing spotted from Japan as yet.

UPDATE 2212z: The first Japanese station JA4LKB spotted on 160m FT8. Yet again, for reasons I do not understand, this was not reported on PSKreporter.
