[Elecraft] [KX3] FT8: "Magic radio"?

[MIKE W1SRR]

I had a QSO with a buddy of mine who was using his FT-817 on 5 watts.
Where as I couldn't hear him on 40m SSB (phone), meanwhile I had him at -13
FT8.  I'm 1,200 miles due south of him. I was -01 with 20w.  While I don't
think its magical I do think its a nice feature with poor conditions..
