OK, I reread the manual page:
As each input record is read, gawk splits the record into
fields, using the value of the FS variable as the field
separator. If FS is a single character, fields are sepa-
rated by that character. If FS is the null string, then
each individual character becomes a separate field. Oth-
erwise, FS is expected to be a full regular expression.
Turns out -F is a regex only if it is more than one character. Fixed by
changing it to '.'. Applied.
