6m FT8

A few moments ago (it is now 0802z) the 6m FT8 gear was turned on (10W to V2000 vertical omni antenna). So far, nothing yet spotted on RX and no spots of me on TX. Although the main Es season is over, there could well be some Es at some time in the day. The main trouble is many just assume it is all over and desert the band!

UPDATE 0819z: Just a single spot of me so far by G4IFX (146km). On 6m FT8 RX nothing.

UPDATE 0923z:  3 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX. With 1 Italian spotted the looks like there is some Es around.
