Not on 8m currently

Until the Es season, I have decided to give 8m a miss. 

With higher ERPs I know some remarkable DX becomes possible, but up to now my experiment has been to find out what would be possible with very low ERP. It would appear that with QRP FT8, some remarkable distances are possible in the right conditions. As the sunspot number climbs still further, we could see some remarkable reports next autumn on 8m. 

Already  the beacon ZS6WAB on 40.675 MHz has been copied in Western Australia.
