At 1736z, my 8m QRP FT8 was turned on 40.680 MHz hoping for some F2 transatlantic propagation.
UPDATE 2010z: No spots. QRT.
Simple QRP projects, 10m, 8m, 6m, 4m, FT8, 160m, WSPR, LF/MF, sub-9kHz, nanowaves and other random stuff, some not related to amateur radio.

All being well, I hope to be on 10m WSPR later when we get home. I should be back this afternoon.
UPDATE 1430z: Back home at 1329z. 10m QRP FT8 turned on. 19 stations have already spotted me with the furthermost WA5TXY (7632km) near Dallas Texas. On 10m FT8 RX 123 stations already spotted.
UPDATE 1811z: 386 stations spotted on RX and I have been spotted by 33 stations in the last 4 hours (see map).
It was made in 1350 and was the biggest window in the world at the time. It is a great example of ancient glass.
My free PDF book got a plug in October QST I see. Please feel free to download it should you want. It is totally free.
This is being copied in Eire by EI9KP by weak tropo, but after several days I have had no sign here in East Anglia. I only have a low dipole and it is obviously too weak for tropo and with MS or aircraft, I almost certainly need more time for a decode on FT8.
I shall try again when there is a decent MS shower, hoping the Doppler doesn't kill the FT8!
My 10mW ERP from the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground was turned on at about 1910. So far, spotted by just G6AVK (78km).
