CQing there now. The FT8 stations moved away from where I’m at. Mike WM4B

I just got into the digi modes a couple years ago, and I settled on PSK31 and have loved it. I did notice that whenever I went up to 17 and called there was seldom anyone around. I have made just a

Well, I’d kind of like to finish my 17 meter endorsement… Mike WM4B Sent: Monday, October 9, 2017 10:27 AM To: 070@... Subject: Re: [070] 17m PSK31 While there are no FCC rules or

While there are no FCC rules or regs against it, perhaps PODXS should have contests on 18.000 ? :-) Jerry n9avy From: "'Mike Besemer' mwbesemer@... [070]" <070@...> To: 070@... Sent:

I suggest we start making regular use of 17 meters. I know propagation my not support much activity, but we can give it a try and see. Plus, it would be a good thing having them hear signals

Probably not, but "venting" feels good. I am hesitant to join another group after cleaning out several groups people urged me to join. There were days I'd wake up and have way too many emails to

I too feel the frustration with FT-8 "taking over" what had been "our" segment of 17m. But I doubt posting our concerns here will do much to change that. May I suggest those of us who feel this is

He did it! On 10/8 NU4C - Paul - completed his 366. He is only the 21st person of 2570+ members to do so. Congratulations Paul. Well done! Paul had previously completed the 24/7 endorsement.

Yup ! Same thing I've been finding almost daily. Jerry N9AVY From: "JEFF WALSH jeffwalsh1644@... [070]" <070@...> To: "070@..." <070@...> Sent: Sunday, October 8, 2017 7:15 PM

My curiosity got the best of me ....After reading some of the original posts on 17m earlier today I went to 18.100 and sent out cq's in psk31 for about 20 minutes starting at about 21:00 zulu ..... I

Methinks the well-respected developer of FT8 wither a a brain fart , didn't care or is getting senile. He owes an apology to PSK31 operators everywhere ! If we didn't need band plans and everyone

He picked the anchor frequencies – or at least coded them into the software. Moving down to the PSK bands won’t go well for them. Mike WM4B Sent: Sunday, October 8, 2017 6:42 PM To:

If I’d have received an email like that, I’d have politely (maybe) reminded the individual that the frequency had previously been occupied by another mode and that they didn’t get to decide what

I didn’t want to open up that can or worms but since it has been cracked.....so I follow the WSJTX yahoo group. There was a thread today about needing to expand the FT8 band because it’s so

I've begun to work on the contest certificates for 2017 today. So there's that, and I think it's good news. Now for the shocking thing (at least to me)..... I just found a stack of *2015*

Well fellows, this seems to be a problem on many bands now. The FT8 group seems to have chosen frequencies without regard for other users and since it seems to be the hot thing now FT8 users are

I tried FT8, didn't like it. The frequency programmed into software for 17 meters is 18.100, go figure?? KI4VMK 2542 On Oct 8, 2017, at 3:48 PM, "'Mike Besemer' mwbesemer@... [070]" <070@...> wrote:
