6m QRP FT8 (Friday)

My QMX+ is initialising. 

Someone kindly suggested it might be due to slow charging of capacitors in my PSU. I tried simply plugging in the power lead to the QMX+ with my PSU well and truly at the correct voltage, but this made no difference. After a time it just initialised. I suspect it is something to do with the way the microprocessor initialises, but I am no expert.

Anyway, the QMX+ in now on 6m FT8 and, so far, just 17 English stations are spotting me at 1540z.

UPDATE 2231z: 
The map shows where I have been spotted on 6m QRP FT8 today.
