[QUOTE="RustySpoons, post: 1048539, member: 412012"] There's no HAM Radio section on here so hopefully this is the closest place to put it on the forum, if it's not please feel free to move this post :) Playing around with FT8 here today, it's very similar to JT65 for those who have used it. Using a Diamond X300 Collinear on 2m (144MHz band) approx 6m above ground and I'm less than 8m above sea level I'm using WSJT-X software on a Icom IC-7100 This is where I'm being heard today, also had a few QSO's You can also use an SDR radio, like the RTL-SDR to pick this up, it's happening on all the bands and a good indication of propagation. Information on FT8 here: [URL='http://qrznow.com/new-digital-mode-from-k1jt-ft8/']New Digital Mode from K1JT – FT8[/URL] URL for Map for reception reports: [URL='https://pskreporter.info/pskmap.html']Display Reception Reports[/URL] [ATTACH=full]116716[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
