8m experiment (Wednesday)

 Later today I expect to be on 8m FT8 TX on 40.680 MHz USB dial. Yesterday I was spotted again by EI9KP (649km).  If the Es is like yesterday I may be spotted by others.

UPDATE 0637z:   TX turned on. 

UPDATE 0820z :  Spotted by 3 EU stations by Es. 

UPDATE 1000z: As you can see by the comment below Ken G4APB has received his T&I 8m licence now and has been active. I am not sure how many UK 8m permits have been granted. The KST chat (50 and 70 MHz) seems useful for skeds etc..
