[GCARC] Spurious emissions on FT-8

[John Zaruba jr]

 I frequently get e-mails  regarding SSB contacts, looking for confirmation.

I made exactly 3 SSB QSOs in 2021. I created a macro to automatically compose the reply “Sorry OM, not in the log”.

If it’s for a CW QSO, then I have to look in the log. I got a tip from N4HNH, automatically upload every QSO to QRZ.com, makes it real easy to search from my phone and gives me an offsite log backup…
