    10m QRP WSPR TX (Friday)

    As the 10m antenna is available, I am on TX with the 500mW W5OLF beacon. So far, at 1020z, 2 unique stations are spotting me. EA8BFK (2880km) gave an amazing +15dB S/N report just now!!
    UPDATE 1417z: 3 unique stations have spotted me with the furthermost FY5KE (7110km).

    6m FT8 QRP (Friday)

    Once again, I was briefly on 6m FT8 using 2.5W TX to the V2000 vertical
    omni antenna. After the brief TX period (no spots!), I am RX only (no
    spots!). OK, it is early. Maybe things will get better.
    UPDATE 1414z: 9 stations spotted on RX today. See map.

    Overnight I was on 160m FT8 RX with the active loop antenna on the shack window. In all 206 stations were spotted.
