The map is showing monitors around the globe on all bands picking up my FT8 signals in the last 15 minutes. Great, but I have not been transmitting. And, it shows monitors picking up my FT8 signals on 80M and 40M, both of which I have never used FT8.

What's up?
I must be doing something wrong?

There are a number of possibilities:

If you haven't been transmitting recently, then it might be false decodes of another callsign. If there are only a few reports, then this is plausible. If there are a lot of reports, then it could be someone else using your callsign.

I don't see any reports of your signals on anything other than 10/15/17m. There is one report on 12m, but I'd discount that.

Thanks.
It turned out to be operator error.
