At 1020z my 2.5W 8m FT8 was turned on 40.680 MHz (TX first). No spots today at 1025z.
Yesterday EI9KP (649km) again spotted me strongly. This is a really odd distance being (probably) too close for Es and too far for tropo. Perhaps it is MS or aircraft scatter. I would have thought the 15 second transmit period would have been too long for these? The signal report suggests aircraft? Phil is definitely the person who most frequently spots on 8m.
UPDATE 1240z: EA3ERE (1153km) has spotted me several times on 8m FT8 this morning. Winter Es I guess.
