    Posted: 09 Nov 2021 02:25 PM PST http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/11/80m-ft8-rx.html


    Since about 1915z I have been on 80m FT8 RX using the coax to the 2m
    big-wheel tuned via the ferrite rod ATU. So far, this evening 71 stations spotted.
    UPDATE 2225z: 453 stations spotted on RX. The band seems very busy as
    the photo shows.
