Hi Larry, 

I think this qualifies as 40m DAY DX, since after SR!! Hi Hi

You may have noted that W6XI and I (W7EXG) have heard and worked SN 40m DX
with EU stations. Typically heard and worked EU was from about 1900z to
2020z. In fact, W6XI holds the record for a SN+2min DX QSO and also the most
number of SN DX QSOs in the SN window. 

Since all of these CW contacts were weak signal QSOs, I was thinking that
the FT8 mode would easily exceed SN CW contacts due to improved signal/noise
capability. 

But, so far, no one is reporting any 40m SN DX in the SN window of +/- 1 Hr.


FT8 should blow CW away as far as 40m SN DX -- as advertised. 

Apparently this is not happening.  My guess is that no one is trying 40m SN
DX using FT8.  

Wes (N7WS) said it best -- Not use to getting on 40m at SN for DX!!

My comment is now is the time, if your going to try.
