8m QRP FT8 (Friday)

Assuming the storm risk has passed, I intend to go on 40.680 MHz QRP FT8 after lunch. I usually TX with 2.5W about 1950 Hz high in the first period. I should be on by about 1130z.  At 1142z, I turned on my 8m QRP FT8.

UPDATE 1425z:   No spots yet.

UPDATE 1527z:  After an interruption because of a thunderstorm, I am now back on again.

UPDATE 1535z:   Still no spots.

Just 1 spot by G7PUA/A

The storms seem to have passed at 1819z

UPDATE 1656z:
Just a single spot by G7PUA/A (168km) who has spotted me on 8m QRP FT8 TX. Not sure of the propagation mode. Nobody spotted on RX. QRT because of thunder.
