6m QRP FT8 (Monday)

My 6m FT8 was turned on at 0600z. 

Stations spotting me at 0830z
UPDATE 0850z:  65 stations have spotted me. It seems to me that those interested in 6m have now got bored with Europeans and are coming on the band to work "super DX" from the Far East, North and South America, Africa and the Caribbean. They do this by being alerted and not coming on so often casually.

UPDATE 0924z: 75 spots of my 5W QRP to the vertical omni. I suppose we occasionally get Es linking with TEP further sound bringing stations far further south in Africa and South America within range on 6m.

UPDATE 1641z:  289 stations have spotted me including DS1JFY (8751km) in South Korea.  Judging by his other spots, this could be genuine. 196 stations spotted on 6m FT8 RX.

UPDATE  2034z: 328 spots of me. QRT soon.

UPDATE 2050z:  Now QRT.
