    6m FT8 (2.5W to the V2000 vertical omni)

    Although I have been spotted by 6 G stations, there is no evidence here of
    Es yet. I have spotted just 3 Gs this morning on 6m FT8 RX.
    As time goes by Es openings become rarer.

    10m WSPR

    For a while I had assumed that most 10m WSPR users had migrated to FT8
    instead, but I was so wrong.
    In the last 2 weeks I have been spotted by 102 different stations on 10m
    WSPR with 500mW from my W5OLF 10m WSPR beacon. I have used this for many
    years and works as well now as it ever has.
    I tend to leave the tiny 10m WSPR TX beacon on when I look on 6m FT8 RX.
    No spots of me yet today.
