[OKDXA] FT8 Setup: Conclusion

[Kim Elmore]

As I know you've all been sitting on pins and needles about this...

I finally got a USB sound card interface that works! And it is truly 
nice to have a sound card dedicated to the particular radio. I may also 
use one for my TS930S, just so I don't need to reset anything when 
switching between radios.

I never specified the nature of the feedback it appeared i was getting 
in my first attempt. It turns out that the Monitor output function was 
making it back to the audio output. I don't know quite how I managed 
that because I can't now recreate it, but Peter and I determined without 
a doubt that this was the case.

So, I'm back to cooking with FT8 on my Orion II with a much simpler 
setup using my Aciente RigBlaster Plus.

Now, isn't FT8WW usually on CW later in the morning, like around 10-11 
AM to noon our time, long path?
