I have about 50 more dxcc countrys confirmed with qsl.

But I only do updates by LOTW.

LOTW is a great tool, more and more users ..GREAT.

SOLAR CYCLE 25

Let's hope this forecast it's correct.

That will say in a 3-4 years we can work

ton's of DX on 10 mtr again....

I cross my fingers that it will be on the same 

level that cycle 24 was, that one  was fun.

My 2nd FT4/8 contest is over,this was more fun than the first one.
Had hoped for more activity,it was much activty on the common FT8
frequencys,lets hope the word will be spread till NeXT year about
this contest,so more station will take part....some say let this be
only a contest with Ft4 mode....I say NO NO..lets have both mode.
Sometimes the little gun can not make the qso in FT4 mode...he need
the FT8 mode for create the qso....proven many times for me this
weekend. Conds was ok on 40 80 mtr, from my qth 20 mtr was not in
good form, closed very early both days. Not a single JA worked on 20.
Had some problem with station that not was in contest was calling me.
The radio and computer get a hick-up and some times the only solution
was to change mode/band for a while, If you look in the rx-window you
should easly understand that the ex-change report are different from
what you send....but stupidity and laziness it's a gift for some  people.....and
a nightmare for others....Good night.....

I like this maps with the qso's on.

thank you to DL4MFM

Look on the map, no stations from

Africa-South America ore Oceania.

Lets hope they can take part NeXT year.

Only S/P for me this year also.
I'm lazy, no antenna work this summer.
Tower With yagies are locked to 30 degree North.
Not to much to work in that direction ...from this qth.
To much work,like Money,like vacation.
Hope for NeXT year that my antennas are up and going again.
A lot of great cw-ops out there,the op at TI7W is amazing.
I worked 98 dxcc during the contest, only turning the vfo .

My goal was 300 qso's. Made 298 so I say OK.
Raw score world is #85 of 572.
Claimed score is new Norwegian record...hehe..
From first qso to second qso I use 19 minutes. 
On a crowded band on FT4 mode my signal was to low.
I think something was wrong,but I look's like FT4 mode
need some signal to decode,had many calls to stations
with +0 dB to +10 dB, but they put CQ contest in my face.
Was running 40w to a vertical Antenna, so I think my 
Signal was drowned between the other callers.
Made some FT8 qso's also, with better decoding.
Some station don't send the final 73, so I don't logged
them. Not much dx to work, the sun killed the propagation.
Was it fun...No ...No....No....No..
Slow rates, Aren't much fun...nothing to do...only waiting..
FT modes are lazy dxing/contesting...RTTY are more fun..
RTTY are ham-radio....FT-Modes are just pc game..

Will I take part next year.....YES ....(I'm lazy also)

FT8-My Experience

My setup.
Radio : Icom IC-706 MK2G (set to 50 w )
Antenna : Vertical GP7DX  cover 6 to 40 Mtr
Antennas : Optibeam 11-5 and Optibeam 1 40-30
Antenna : RA6LBS 80-160 Mtr
Computer : Lenovo 100s at 1.60GHz
Software : WSJT-X 2.1.0 and Windows 10

FT4 Regular Qso.
This is a normal qso in FT4 mode. It has Tx Sequence of 7,5 second.
A normal qso takes 45 second. Click on the photo, I have qso with
K1JT the Author of the program. I like FT4 ,it's a quick mode.
You realy have a good chance to make the qso.
I find it more fun than FT8

FT8 Fox and Hound Qso.
What is this......
This is the DX-pedition Mode.
This is the future of handling out qso's for a dx-pedition.
I realy enjoyed watching  the way this mode made qso's.
Some hounds should read the manual to get a better
understanding of how this works...some hounds  can not read...
Ore in other word ,they dont understand the way it works...
Click on photo I get RR73 and US6ISV get his report -02dB
in the same line......fantastic way to do it...
I think RTTY is dead.....for dx-pedition's

FT8 Result after 9 days qrv.
So how did it work's out for me...
This is from clublog.
Most Activ radio ham the last 14 days.
I worked 114 DXCC's entity in this period...
I can not tell you who is number one...
Please click on photo... 

My FT8 Logging program.
Where did WSJT-X dump my qso's.
I use Winlog32, it's a freelog program.
I find it usable and good, a simple and a easy program.

 

My thougths.

I have not been a big fan of this digimodes.

I have called this for cheating qsos, but I have to admit

it's a fun way to have qso's, You can work the world

with 50 w and Limited antennas , most qso's I have

had have been audible, The program do the most of

the qso, you only have to double click on the Call

and if the other station hear you ,the qso start...

You can look at the process in the right window..

Then you get the question....do you want to log this qso ???

Of course you log it.....1 qso  3 mouse click....ticktick...tick

In 9 days I made 700 qso's  114 DXXC's countrys....

This is clearly the mode for the Limited Radio Ham..

But it is fun, the dx Family have been much bigger.

It's a lot of New stations to work outside there .

Some say it's a pc game.....OK...if you think so..

But dont complain about other People have fun...

You have a computer..all the program is free..

SO WHY DONT YOU TEST IT.

I was grumpy about this mode...but I have changed

Thumbs up for WSJT-X    FT4   FT8

100% user of this New digimode.
See you on th band RR73
