After breakfast I hope to be on 70cm FT8 QRP with 2.5W and the V2000 vertical omni antenna. Activity and conditions may not be good until this evening. Nonetheless it will be interesting to keep eyes and ears open. It may also indicate what I can expect all the time with scatter.
UPDATE 0924z: No spots on RX so far. I have not tried TX. The gear was turned on at 0824z.
UPDATE 1244z: Just a single 70cm FT8 spot so far today M7RSG (88km).
UPDATE 1416z: A brief TX period just now resulted in nobody spotting me. No further spots on RX.
UPDATE 1840z: At the moment, 70cm FT8 has been disappointing. 1 local G6KWA (22km) has been spotted and I have been spotted by G6OUA (63km). No DX, well yet anyway. According to the Hepburn Tropo Forecast, I was expecting better.
