2m FT8 QRP with 2.5W and the big-wheel omni (Christmas)

Whilst Christmas is going on I am on 2m FT8 using 2.5W and the big-wheel omni antenna. So far today I have been spotted by 9 stations with the furthermost being G7RAU (461km) on 2m FT8 TX.  On 2m FT8 RX just a couple of Gs spotted. It is now 1045z.

UPDATE 1853z: 15 stations have spotted my QRP on TX and I have spotted 12 stations on RX with the furthermost DL6YBF (471km). As most spots of me are G and near France, these could be flat band tropo.

UPDATE 2220z: QRT.
