10m FT8 grabber

One of the new features that is possible on the new Google Sites is embedding. Some browsers do not support this for fear of viruses or malware
on the embedded sites. I have embedded PSKreporter maps on my new web
pages which normally points to what I see on 10m FT8 RX. So you can see
what I am spotting here.
Just occasionally I may be looking at something else.

Amateur radio gear can be badly affected by nearby storms. Often, when
there are storms nearby, there can be damaging power surges. I am always nervous with nearby storms. My normal practice is to disconnect everything until the storms have well passed. At the moment, the immediate risk seems
to have passed.

As usual, whilst doing some housework, I am monitoring 10m FT8 RX with the
tiny indoor loop. At 1030z, 106 stations spotted.
UPDATE 1104z: 136 stations spotted with the furthermost CT3MD (2521km) on Madeira.
UPDATE 1902z: 402 stations spotted on RX with the furthermost PT2GTI
(8866km).
