[OKDXA] A25RU

[Mark Chouinard]

Haven't been on FT-8 since 2019 at previous QTH.  Fired up WSJT-X tonight
just to test.  Worked an IK4, 9Y4 and a 3-lander, so it appears I've still
got things configured properly and getting out ok.

Curious what is meant by FT-8 *F/H*?  I listen on 7.060 and don't hear
anything like I might on .074, so I must not be aware of the latest modes
or practices.

I honestly find FT-8 to be incredibly boring, but it is an impressive weak
sig mode and I'd like to partake in some of the action I see posted.  Any
pointers would be appreciated.

73,
Mark - K5YAC
