2m QRP FT8 (Tuesday)

 

As 10m was so dire, I QSYed to 2m QRP FT8 using the FT817ND and big-wheel omni antenna. 

Almost immediately this resulted in a QSO with G3TKF (221km) as well as 9 spots of me including one by G7RAU (461km) in Cornwall (see map).

3 stations spotted on 2m FT8 RX this morning.

UPDATE 1133z: 7 stations spotted on RX and 11 stations have spotted me on 2m QRP  FT8.

UPDATE 1332z:  9 stations have been spotted on RX here today with the furthermost DO7JVK (419km) in Germany. On QRP TX, I have been spotted by 13 unique stations today. Imagine if I had a beam!
