70cm FT8 contest


This evening there is a contest on 70cm FT8. 12 stations have been spotted with the furthermost PF1B (305km). 

I am using the V2000 vertical omni antenna. Although I had 1 QSO and have been spotted by 3 stations, I am mostly RX only.

UPDATE 1850z: 15 stations spotted with the furthermost EI8KN (518km).

UPDATE 1950z:  20 stations spotted. This is with the vertical antenna!

UPDATE 2053z:  29 stations spotted on RX and 5 stations have spotted me with the furthermost F5RZC (208km). This is by far the most stations I have spotted at one time on 70cms. My power is 2.5W. See map for the stations spotted at 2035z.

UPDATE 2200z: 30 stations spotted.
