Good morning,
For those that run FT8/FT4/JS8, a couple of nights ago, 17M had very few operators, but was amazing. Made contacts on FT8 in Mauritania, Fiji, and two in Australia using my not-so-random end fed and 50 watts. The moral of the story is don’t forget the WARC bands. Using PSK reporter, I was able to see my signal in Japan and Mongolia. There was a guy up in Mongolia, but couldn’t make it happen. This is a fun way to DX when SSB isn’t up to snuff.
Using WSPR mode on WSJT-X, you can also get an idea of your propagation paths/success using other modes, such as CW and SSB. You will need a WSPRnet.org <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwsprnet.org%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C4c039f3ab1a94803705808d9575ba355%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637636873358755386%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=MQvcOqZIsOqAgxBqV0bCt7NvNyibnlCvYn6v3OULwHI%3D&reserved=0> account to view who heard you. To check your FT8/FT4 propagation, use PSK reporter. Go to pskreporter.info <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpskreporter.info%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C4c039f3ab1a94803705808d9575ba355%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637636873358755386%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=7hCYlw4fHNW4hYkeLQk7MgMCcPyBzLFVY1wNPn5uKU0%3D&reserved=0>, pick your band, enter your callsign, pick a time frame, and hit GO. You will get a map showing where you were heard.
The other option is to learn CW and then you can be heard on Mars using 5 watts and a coat hanger. :)
