6m QRP FT8 (Saturday)

In a few moments, I again expect to be on 6m FT8 QRP with the FT817ND and the V2000 vertical. Yesterday was a good Es day. I somehow doubt this will be the case today! 

UPDATE 0723z: Gear turned on at 0715z. Spotted by GB0SNB/SDR (65km). I spotted an ON on RX, but this has not appeared on PSKreporter maps. Often, my very early RX spots do not appear. Not sure why this is. 

UPDATE 0816z: Just been spotted by M1ABK (70km). Still nothing on 6m FT8 RX.

UPDATE 1011z: 3 stations have spotted me on QRP TX and I have spotted 4 on RX. All UK. No sign of any Es.

UPDATE 1700z:  Quite a good 6m day considering the lack of Es. 12 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX and 8 stations have spotted my QRP with the furthermost SP5QWB (1405km). Was the SP by Es?
