160m FT8

Results with the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground are very similar to previous evenings. So far, 40 stations spotted here and 6 spots of my 10W.

UPDATE 1808z:  So far this evening 22 stations have spotted me. On 160m FT8 RX, 149 spots so far this evening.

Spots on 160m FT8 RX this evening
UPDATE 2018z: 26 spots of my 10W FT8 CQ calls on 160m this evening. 362 spots on RX spots far this evening. Quite a few stations are working Japanese stations that I think TX higher up the band. I must find out where and monitor.

UPDATE 2028z:  Looks like the Japanese TX on 1907kHz which is where I am looking now. Maybe I am too late this evening? I shall monitor 1907kHz for a while before going back to 1840kHz.

UPDATE 2100z: Both JA5EXW and JH4UYB spotted on 1907kHz USB FT8, but neither appeared on PSKreporter. I am obviously looking in the right place. Tomorrow I must try earlier. A couple of EU stations are transmitting up there hoping to work Japanese without split.

UPDATE 2118z:  VO1HP (3744km) spotted at 2110z, which is quite early. 4S7AB (8678km) is currently the best DX spotted this evening.
