2m FT8 (2.5W to the big-wheel omni antenna)

Since 0825z I have been on 2m FT8. Nothing yet spotted on RX , but 3 G spots of me so far. No QSOs yet.

UPDATE 0920z:  4 G spots of me so far and nothing spotted on RX.

UPDATE 1022z:  Still just 4 spots of me this morning. The grabber at G0LRD (26km) is useful as it gives me an indication of my signal cleanliness and 2m FT8 activity.  See http://82.71.9.63:8080/cap/ .

Stations spotted
on RX

UPDATE 1801z: Amazing. Even an FT817ND and a big-wheel omni I manage to get incredible ranges on 2m FT8.
