OK Jim I am using 160m FT8 almost every morning. On Oct 28, 2020, had the first and only one 160m QSO with the USA with a new antenna. I hope for many more. Starting tomorrow morning , I will be activ

#FT4

This period looks promising within EU, AF, and AS, but not for NA. How about 1 hour +/- your sunrise, which allows for propagation to NA and SA? I'd love to see all 160M operation move from FT8 to FST

Calling CQ now!

Ror NA, 160 just starts to open at 2200z. Could you please run later? I thank you in advance. Bruce, W8HW in Florida, USA

Hi Folks! Join me in FST4 160m. This evening 19:00-22:00 UTC I will call CQ and listen: 1. Using WSJT-X v2.3.0 rc2 2. Mode=FST4 Single Decode 3. Frequency=1839.00 KHz 4. Tx=Rx=1500 Hz 5. F Tol=100 Hz

Hi everybody! It did work in a modest way. As you can see in the screen snip, one 160n FST4 QSO was made with PA9CC. Please note that I did receive PA9CC at -29 dB. Let's continue tomorrow evening, sa

Larry and All In addition: 1. I will call CQ on 19:00, 19:30, 20:00, 20:30, 21:00, 21:00, 21:30 UTC for 15 minutes each time. 2. What shell I do with NB? Join me Amos 4X4MF Larry Starting now, this ev

Amos, Most of what little activity I have seen occurs between about 800 to 1200 so I set Flow at 500 and Fhi at 1300. Start with the NB set to 0, but gradually increase it as you gain experience. You

Larry Starting now, this evening, 20:55 our time, 18:55 UTC till 22:00 UTC I will be listening on 1839.000 KHz, t/r=60, RX=TX=1200. What shell I do with F Low and F High? From time to time I will call

Larry, Thanks for the information. I'll be on tonight about 0100 UTC. Robie - AJ4F

Amos, Based on my experience on 160 during the early FST4 trials, I can make some suggestions. For a number of reasons I believe most of the FST4 options are not practical for DX work on 160. The opti

#FT4

Bill I believe very few people will experiment FST4 without a purpose. I , and some others, hope to get on 160m better performance with FST4 then FT8 to complete DXCC 160m. I suggest you will create a

#FT4

Hi Amos, where possible we will not recommend frequencies or modes, it's just too difficult to satisfy all parties. I suggest you coordinate with other users and find slots and modes that work for you

#FT4

FST4 developers I did not notice that one possible reason for the low activity on FST4 is it’s many options such as T/R=15 or 30 or 60 or 120 or 300 or 900 or 1800 seconds, F Low, F High, TX, Rx and w

I’ve been following this thread because, although I get a decent amount of QSOs, including EU, CA, and US, my signal reports are always around -20 dB. My rig is a Yaesu FTDX 3000 using CAT control wit

Aye, there's the rub: "I don't see any harm of CAT control, if it is available and working properly" I don't want ops who don't have access to CAT for whatever reason to be left out because they don't

#ft8 #FT4 #power #ic-718 #icom

Jim, I fully agree with you. But on the other hand it is too easy to generate 1% un-linearity meaning about -20 dB harmonics levels as can be seen on bands, hi! Especially, when operators compensate t

#ft8 #FT4 #power #ic-718 #icom

Being able to do this is not restricted to CAT control. If you know how your radio works, have clean low distortion audio stages, and don't overdrive said audio stages then CAT is not needed for this
