Since about 0910z I have been on 2m FT8 QRP with the usual 2.5W and big-wheel omni antenna. So far (at 0932z) just 1 station spotting me.
UPDATE 1301z: 15 stations spotted on 2m FT8 RX. 4 stations have spotted me so far on QRP TX.
UPDATE 2150z: In the last day 20 stations have spotted me. 4 QSOs today. 87 stations spotted here. It is interesting that most signals on G0LRD's grabber at http://82.71.9.63:8080/cap/ (26km) are direct, I occasionally see Doppler shifted signals on some transmissions, which must be off aircraft, possibly those approaching Stansted or some of the nearby military bases. Most Doppler is about 10-20Hz.
UPDATE 2228z: There looks like there is a contest as several stations are calling CQ TEST on FT8. I shall be going QRT soon.
UPDATE 2238z: QRT.
