6m FT8 (2.5W to the V2000 vertical omni)

Although the Es season is well behind us, I again decided to try 6m FT8.  

Although I have only been on for about 15 minutes, I have been spotted by a couple of Gs but no DX. On RX, just M0MVB (31km) has spotted me strongly. He is a serious 6m operator who worked some impressive DX this year on the band. By comparison, I am just playing.

UPDATE 1220z:  Still just the 2 spots of me. On RX best DX is OZ3K (703km).

UPDATE 1402z:  Even well outside of the Es season I am spotting signals from Spain and Denmark on 6m FT8. I think these are Es, but they could be aircraft.

UPDATE 1744z:  1 QSO with M0MVB (31km) and 11 stations in 5 countries spotted today on my simple 6m FT8 station. Best DX spotted was IT9RZR (2063km). Not bad for October!
