GB2WWA — FT8 activity observed at SO8OO
Receiver-side FT8 activity involving GB2WWA, decoded by SO8OO in southeastern Poland. 7,588 FT8 messages attributed to this token as transmitter, on 80m, 40m, 20m, 10m, across 8 UTC dates in the available aggregate history. Observed between 2026-06-29 and 2026-07-14.
These are automated observations at the SO8OO receiver, not an official contact log. Times are UTC. Attribution follows decoded FT8 message structure: CQ uses the first token and directed-looking messages use the second. Free text that resembles a directed message can be attributed imperfectly. Summary S/N reflects propagation plus SO8OO receiver, antenna and local-noise conditions. Counts are not adjusted for monitoring outages; transmissions that were not decoded are absent. Inferred entity and location data may be inaccurate for portable, remote or special-event operation.
SO8OO decoded 7,588 FT8 messages attributed to GB2WWA as the transmitting token by decoded message structure across 8 UTC dates in the available aggregate history. The largest monitored-band total was 20 m (60%), followed by 40 m (27%) and 80 m (11%). The busiest six-hour window was 18:00-00:00 UTC, containing 41% of decodes. Received S/N was mixed across SO8OO's weak, moderate and strong ranges; the estimated median was -10.3 dB.

SO8OO display ranges among successful decodes: weak (≤ -16 dB) 1,589, moderate (-15 to -9 dB) 3,015, strong (≥ -8 dB) 2,984.
WSJT-X defines S/N reports against a 2,500 Hz reference noise bandwidth. The ranges above are SO8OO receiver-side display categories, not official WSJT-X classes, transmitter-power measurements or estimates of how easy the station is to hear elsewhere. Statistics include only successful decodes on SO8OO's monitored FT8 channels; transmissions that were not decoded are absent.

Other locator fields attributed to this token: IO90 (1,214), IO91 (122), IO83 (24), and JO01 (3).
A decoded locator can describe portable, remote or special-event operation and is not proof of a permanent station address or transmitter identity.
