    6m FT8 today

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 10:49 PM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/07/6m-ft8-today.html


    After breakfast I hope to go on 6m FT8 with 2.5W and the V2000 vertical
    omni antenna. Yesterday I was on 10m FT8 and spotted and worked plenty.

    If you want to see what I am spotting here on 10m FT8, look at the grabber
    on my website. This uses embedding, so may not work on some browsers. If
    so, you may have to go straight to PSKreporter.

    At present, I am on 10m FT8 with my old Par antenna and 2.5W. So far this morning, 15 stations have spotted me on TX, and I have spotted 114 stations
    on RX.
    UPDATE 1552z: 40 stations have spotted me on TX and I have spotted 412 stations on 10m FT8 RX with the furthermost ZD7JC (7606km).
    UPDATE 2037z: 42 stations spotting my 2.5W 10m FT8 TX today, with the
    latest W4WIN (6038km) in Virginia, USA. On RX, 508 stations spotted.

    2m operation

    Occasionally I have a go on 2m. Mostly I use FT8 because of my poor voice,
    but most weeks I also go on FM nets and SSB in the activity contest.

    10m WSPR (last Thursday)

    Posted: 10 Jul 2021 02:19 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/07/10m-wspr-last-thursday.html


    The last time I was on 10m WSPR was on Thursday when I was spotted by 62 different stations in Europe and South America. And I thought most were now using FT8!! Not bad with 500mW and a low wire antenna.
    In the last week, 74 stations have spotted me on 10m WSPR.
