Very pleased for you that you've got yourself set up, and having fun with it already. I've read some people really struggle to get digi working at the start, so you can give yourself a pat on the back for getting it all working.
Now, welcome to the weekend in these good solar conditions where you might struggle to find a clear slot to TX on FT8, and when you do, to keep hold of it. You'll see what I mean soon enough
You might be amazed where your signal will reach. Enjoy it. I'll look out for you.

Nothing wrong with a bit of radio taking over your life there Jimmy.
The wife and I sat down for an evening movie recently (so away from the shack) and at a particular scene I exclaimed "That's a Yaesu FT101ZD!"....She looked me square in the face and called me a 'Nerd'.
Still, she loves that I bugger off to the shack so that she can enjoy her usual TV programs in peace.
Watch yourself with that FT8 malarkey, it can all be quite addictive.
