Post: RE: FT8 50 Hz Slot Operating Idea

Yes, definitely find a clear spot and stick to it. Even if a rare station comes up. You can easily spot some robot stations as they move to the dx frequency and invariably land on someone else. As...

Post: RE: Long path (LP) observations

No need to move the antenna as direct doesn't work, even from this far north. I've worked ET3, ZS6, ZS4, 3B8, 3B9 and few others down that way whilst pointing at A41. Just my 2c cheers VK8AW

It's on again. 2mtrs open to JA when TEP distorts 6mtr FT8 signals. But you have to wait for the path to form and support FT8 on 2mtrs. I don't have an exact time frame to quote but there is definite...
