    8m experiment (Wednesday)

    Posted: 18 May 2022 03:02 AM PDT http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2022/05/8m-experiment-wednesday_18.html


    Later today I expect to be on 8m FT8 TX on 40.680 MHz USB dial. Yesterday
    I was spotted again by EI9KP (649km). If the Es is like yesterday I may be spotted by others.
    UPDATE 0637z: TX turned on.
    UPDATE 0820z : Spotted by 3 EU stations by Es.
    UPDATE 1000z: As you can see by the comment below Ken G4APB has received
    his T&I 8m licence now and has been active. I am not sure how many UK 8m permits have been granted. The KST chat (50 and 70 MHz) seems useful for
    skeds etc..
