8m QRP FT8 (Thursday)

Although I have been on most of the day, no spots on TX or RX.  There are quite a few monitors. I expect they are expecting F2 propagation.

UPDATE 1325z:  It helps if you connect an actual antenna and not a dummy load!  Until a few minutes ago, my 8m antenna was not connected and I was wondering why the match was very good, but I was getting no spots. Once the 8m antenna was connected, local G4WSZ (12km) immediately spotted me!

UPDATE 1530z: ZR1ADI (9777km) in Western Cape, South Africa copied well on 8m FT8.
