At about 0930z my 8m FT8 QRP on 40.680 MHz was turned on. At 0940z, unsurprisingly, no spots. At the moment, my only real hope is aircraft scatter or a very good F2 opening with a high enough MUF. Those with higher ERPs have a much greater chance of success.
UPDATE 1340z: EA8/DF4UE (2876km) has spotted me very strongly (+2dB S/N) and I have spotted Eire and Croatia.
UPDATE 1359z: Still no news from OFCOM about my T&I permit for after April.
UPDATE 1515z: No further 8m FT8 spots today.
