    10m FT8 QRP (Sunday)

    Posted: 08 Aug 2021 11:34 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/08/10m-ft8-qrp-sunday.html


    Since about 1814z, I have been on 10m FT8 with 2.5W QRP.
    On RX, 21 stations were spotted and I have been spotted by 7 stations on
    TX. This looks like Es. Judging by activity levels it looks like many have assumed the Es season is over.
    This is where FT8 could be really worth monitoring. Es openings may be
    less frequent, but when they occur they can be as good as in the peak Es season. Having an FT8 (or WSPR) monitor on all the time could allow
    fleeting openings to be spotted.

    Yesterday, in the early evening, I was on 10m FT8 RX. 36 stations were
    spotted including 1 South American.
