Got a bit lucky today. 
I had wanted to work the TO80SP on 21mc before they went QRT tomorrow Z… Got a wild hair when I saw them posted on PSK, a mode I had not made a QSO on in years, since it counts as a digital mode for DXCC. If I have someone on RTTY I leave PSK alone, as it is a bit tougher than RTTY. They were so weak but I made a QSO which surprised me a bit. Only bad problem is it is a constant output mode and will heat up your transmitter and amplifier if you keep calling. I used 300 watts and prayed. Hi
Those who think FT8 is a bit confusing at times and if you need to do F/H or plain FT or guess what the offset is and such, you need to try PSK. It can be confusing too with how you tune it in and where to transmit. Fun to work them but not enuff to go to FT8. Lol  For those who have worked the TO80SP, they updated their log recently and go QRT tomorrow.
