[TVARC] Anyone Seeing FT8WW?

[w3us at casa-aloha.net]

Yes, Ed, FT8WW has been on 10.131 FT8 the past three evenings with really good signals.  I worked him last night at 0309Z.   Thierry is working MSHV, NOT F/H.  Last night I copied as many as six transmissions in one cycle as he worked down the pile up.  Between 0200Z-0300Z he was exclusively working southern NA, northern SA, and the Caribbean, so I figured it was just a matter of time.  Good luck!
