10m FT8 (Sunday) with the QDX

Now my QDX transceiver has arrived, I am concentrating on 10m FT8 today. The antenna looks quite a good match to 17m and even on 20m it is not bad. I think the QDX puts out about 4W on 10m.

UPDATE 0943z:   55 spots on 10m FT8 RX and a couple of spots on TX (Ukraine and Canary Is).

UPDATE 1500z:  481 stations spotted today on 10m FT8 using the QDX transceiver. As I was out, I have not been on 10m FT8 TX for several hours.

10m QRP FT8 spots of me to 1600z using the QDX

UPDATE 1621z: 
519 stations spotted and my QRP 10m FT8 TX has been spotted by 31 stations with 2 QSOs, although these were stations calling me. If I called others I am pretty sure more QSOs are definitly possible.  I guess it must be the time of year, but no North Americans spotted yet. The map clearly shows F2 skip. Still nothing yet from the USA.

UPDATE 1900z:  45 stations have spotted my 10m QRP FT8 and I have spotted 589 stations.
