10m 200mW WSPR (Saturday)

 My beacon was turned on at about 0815z . When I checked WSPRnet appeared not to be working? Which begs a question - is there a real alternative? In the past I have found PSKreporter poor for WSPR.

Spotted by 38 stations.

UPDATE 2106z: 69 stations have spotted me.

10m 3W FT8 - NOT!!

Until I can fix my PC I am unlikely to be on 10m FT8. Hopefully it is something stupid that I can fix. 

I have reinstalled WSJT-X so I know it is not that. Next thing to try is to make sure the TX audio is getting to the USB port. It will be fixed soon, but at the moment I am too tired.

My beacon is on.

UPDATE 1613z:   13 stations have spotted me today, by Es I think. 20 spots of me in the last day. 

UPDATE 2002z:
