At the start of the Es season, I started with 10mW 6m WSPR. It worked, so I changed to 6m 10mW FT8, which in theory needs a better S/N to decode.
Every day, 10mW 6m FT8 has been very successful. Some reports suggest some margin too.
I think the fact that FT8 only needs a 15 second TX period compared with 120 seconds for WSPR helps to catch very brief Es openings.
When I return to 8m, I think I shall try 10mW ERP FT8 instead of WSPR.
