17m FT8 QRP (Monday)

It is now 1420z. A few minutes ago I QSYed to 17m FT8 with 2.5W and the tiny indoor loop antenna. So far today, 43 stations spotted on RX, but no spots of my QRP TX.

UPDATE 1448z:  72 stations spotted so far on RX, but nobody has yet spotted my QRP TX.

UPDATE 1535z:  106 stations spotted so far on 17m FT8 RX and just one spot of my 2.5W on TX. I think one of the issues is being clobbered by co-channel stations running far more ERP. Although a channel appears clear here, it may not be.

Stations spotted on
17m FT8 RX today
UPDATE 1802z:  189 stations spotted today on 17m FT8 RX.  QSYing to 2m FT8 QRP shortly.
