Hi Buddy,
At least you didn't try CLOVER. Yes, I agree, I call out on both PSK31 and RTTY from the ship and it's mostly fruitless. I would think the bands are dead until I dial in the FT8 frequency and hear all of the stations. Even the CW and SSB bands are mostly ghost towns except during contests.
Hopefully when I get underway in a couple of weeks, I will be able to have more than just FT8 QSO's to log. I will try some PSK31 from the Philippine Sea, and see what I can get. I am also hoping to activate KH0 if things work out with me getting an antenna built.
