    Not a bad day in the end with my 500mW being copied over 3000km away and
    by 6 stations. Not on today.

    I still have to sync the time, but I am on 10m WSPR with 500mW from my
    W5OLF WSPR beacon. It is now 0835z.
    UPDATE 0955z: Just 5 spots from local G4KPX (14km) so far.

    8m tests today

    As G7PUV on the South Coast has got now his 8m TX permit, I shall try to receive him on 40.680 MHz USB dial FT8 today. At the moment I am also on 8m
    FT8 TX (TXing in the first period) on 40.680 MHz. Later, I shall be RX only
    to give Paul the best chance of being copied up here.
    UPDATE 0850z: 2 local spots of me so far this morning. Now RX only on 8m
    FT8.
    UPDATE 1346z: Just switched to 40.680 MHz WSPR TX. Back to FT8 later.
    UPDATE 1528z: Back on FT8 (TXing first) on 40.680 MHz. So far, 3 local
    spots of me. Thank you.
    UPDATE 1650z: With grateful thanks to local G3TFX, my 8m dipole has now
    been raised in height. S/N on local signals is considerably better.
    UPDATE 2000z: QRT. Just local spots.
