Another go at 160m tonight
OK, a different approach to an antenna now operational. I'll be on 1.807 near 0100 UTC calling CQ. Prop from last night was reported as good from then until it started to fall off about 1200 UTC. And no contest showing on WA7BNM's contest calendar. This antenna setup shows 3.1:1 SWR and tunes to 1.1:1 with my internal tuner. It remains to be seen if it can hear and speak. Any help greatly appreciated!

Re: WFD
Jerry, the WFD web site had an example exchange showing phonetic exchanges. They must not have seen that the example was for SSB operation. JIM K5SP Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S®6 active, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone

It's a waste of time on PSK and certainly inefficient. Kind of a "newbie" thing, I guess. Slows down the number of contacts per hour (rate). The other thing I noticed is at 1900 UTC when contest stopped it got really quiet.. literally could hear a pin drop on 20m , hi ! Jerry n9avy -- Jim, K5SP #483 Member Services Director

I try to participate in Field Day in the summer in our 100-115 degree heat (116 was our high record a few years ago and the AC in the two EM trailers were not working), but I have been playing with this FT8 stuff. Nice quick and dirty for contest stuff. I do little voice due to major hearing issues. I really like PSK so one may have a conversation if they wish or if contesting it can be quick too. I was encouraged to participate in WFD this year and tried it. I ended up with ONE QSO on simplex from the guy who encouraged me to try it this year. From the opening bell until about midnight I saw four stations and they faded in and out so badly I never saw one complete a full PSK QSO. I tried to log a 4O ORG station, but Scott's software rejected it. I have done a ton of QSOs on 80 and 30 this month, hardly had any luck in the past, all but 40 of my 750 or so QSO have been FT8. I prefer PSK but sure seem to have a lot of trouble decoding it here. Yet for the PSKFEST it was great. Time to spread some PSK around on the bands.

I never entered WFD before but the sheer number of hams on 40m changed my mind quick. This year I was 1H CT because I am still putting together my mobile setup so next time I may be freezing the buttocks off up here in CT. I really envied those hams that were in FL or AZ and outside. I have the utmost respect for those who were outside up in the frozen north country. Polar Bear Club for sure. Joe KA1PPV #1482 On Sun, Jan 28, 2018 at 12:47 PM, Matthew King - AK4MK wrote:
