QRP 2m FT8

FT8 amazes me. 

DX spots seem possible with QRP and omni antennas at any time with this mode on 2m. If activity was higher, this would probably be true on 70cm and 23cm. My suspicion is this is troposcatter made possible by the ability of FT8 to work with incredibly weak signals. 

In my view, FT8 is a game changer.
