[Elecraft] PSK31 with a KX2

[K8TE]

Times change.  ClubLog publishes a weekly summary of uploaded DX contacts at: 
https://clublog.org/dxreport.html.  For this past week, PSK was 0.11% of all
those contacts.  This is a representative sample (not scientific) of
activity by those who use ClubLog.

FT8/4 made up about 61%, SSB & CW just short of 38%.  This gives us a pretty
good idea of where to find the activity.  The summary includes other modes
along with other information.  You may not like it, but it is a close
approximation of reality.

RTTY fans (0.69% in this summary) can't believe there are so few operating
RTTY, except during contest weekends.  If one picks a mode with such small
numbers, one can't expect to find much activity.

I use multiple radios, one of which is dedicated to FTn.  This allows me to
make CW/SSB contacts while the other radio is making FTn contacts.  FTn has
filled in a lot of band-slots and even States on 12m toward 9BWAS for me,
with little skill and minimal effort.  If one pays attention to FTn details,
one can make even more contacts there.  I get tired of clicking.  I don't
like to move my hands off the home keys.

73, Bill, K8TE
