[Elecraft] K3S WSJT and FT8

[markmusick at sbcglobal.net]

In my reply to Wes' post about hearing 3B8M on 40 meter CW and I posted I worked them with my K2/10 at 5 Watts on 20 meters, some apparently thought I used FT8 to make the contact. That is not the case. I was using CW as I was a QRP entry in the CQWW CW contest.

Nothing to do with your problem but I had to say that I copied, and called unsuccessfully, 3B8M on 40-meter CW on 11-24-19 @ 1651Z, which is 0951 AM local time here in Arizona.  This is 3 hours past my SR on a >11,000 mile path.  Who needs FT8?

I'll look for you on 80 and 160.

It turned out that it was the transmit chain of audio level settings wsjt pwr - windows spkr audio - K3 mic/line level that had to be ’tuned’. So next step will be to read up on how you do the qsos. 3B8M might do a test run on 17m later today and I will try to do 160 and perhaps 80 around sunset/sunrise night between Wed and Thu my time. That would be 1830 and 0120 UTC respectively.
