FT-8 20m FT-8 Worldwide Band Opening

[sunwave]

Ultimately this post is sharing my FT-8 reception. Local time for these 20m catches was past midnight local time 4:15am cdt | 0915utc.
Sitting here in Oklahoma City I was decoding FT-8 then what caught my attention was no W, K, A and N callsigns which are all U.S. callsigns. I was receiving Japan, Australia, Indonesian, and much of the EU. In the video I used QRZCQ for license search to get a broad general location. FT-8 is on 14.074MHz USB for 20m.

Equipment is SDRPlay RSP1b, MLA 30+ active loop.
Software is WSJT-X, SDRuno
Audio routed with Virtual Audio Cable Lite

Again, just sharing my catches.

Edit: Russia finally shows up

20 meter on ft8 has always worked well for me. I’ve worked all continents on it.

My post was not band related. It was having the country show up in WSJT-X instead of all the call sign look up's to find the country you were doing on in the video.
