10m FT8 RX with the IC-705 and the tiny indoor loop

At 0900z, I went on 10m FT8 RX with the IC-705 and the tiny indoor loop. Even with ferrite chokes on the USB lead I was still getting RF feedback from the loop to the rig on 10m, so I am RX only on that band until I get the outside antenna up. 2 French stations spotted after 10 minutes.

UPDATE 1104z: 14 stations spotted on 10m FT8 RX today so far. All Es.

UPDATE 1350z : 21 stations spotted on RX with the tiny indoor loop antenna and the IC-705.
