8m QRP FT8 (Saturday)

For the last few days, I have been back on 8m QRP FT8.  Every day my 2.5W to a dipole has been received overseas.  Some of these were probably via Es, although I am less sure of the reports from Eire. 

For the first time (I think) G8JNJ (247km) was spotted here. This is far too close for Es, so could be tropo, some sort of backscatter, MS or aircraft.

UPDATE 1945z:  5 stations spotted my QRP 8m FT8 today.
