New challenge needed

HF bands present no real challenge. Recent microwatt tests on 10m WSPR have been fun, but I need a new challenge. 

My 2.5W 8m FT8 signal has been received in most of the places I had hoped for, and this is not likely to change until there are a few new countries on the band. At the moment I am inclined to ask for a new 8m permit from April 2024 - April 2025 even though I have to pay to do research, which I find utterly stupid!

Later today, I may QSY to a VHF band FT8 as this is "different" and not something I have tried for a while.
