70cm FT8 (Thursday)

More in hope than expectation, I am on 70cm FT8. After a very brief period on TX, I am RX only. Using 2.5W and the omni V2000 vertical.

No spots. Am I surprised?

Will TX briefly throughout the day and evening.

It is a pity 70cm FT8 is not really popular as I am convinced it could be really really good.

UPDATE 1035z: Still no spots. on RX. No spots of me after a brief period on TX just now.

UPDATE 1358z:  No spots given or received.

UPDATE 1420z:  3 stations spotted including 2 PAs and 1 QSO. Furthermost was PD2NBE (280km) on RX.

UPDATE 1540z:  5 stations (including 3 PAs) spotted on 70cm FT8 RX today.

UPDATE 1832z:  7 stations spotted in 3 countries.

UPDATE 2133z: 3 stations have spotted me with the furthermost G0KTN (211km).
