[OKDXA] FT8 and FT8WW

[af5cc at fidmail.com]

I wish he would go back to LP on 20 meters FT8 during our mornings.  That is the only time I have copied him.  Looks like he is doing the higher bands in the mornings now, though.

HI KIM, IF YOU STILL NEED FT8WW ON CW TRY 14.031 AROUND 9:30 PM LOCAL TIME. BEEN HEARING HIM THERE THE LAST FEW NIGHTS WITH A GOOD SIGNAL. LAST NIGHT HE WAS VERY CLEAR, WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY EASY COPY SHORT PATH.  I MANAGED TO WORK HIM A FEW DAYS AGO, ON 20M FT8 AND CW. GLAD TO HAVE THEM IN LOG FOR NEW COUNTRY.
GOOD LUCK

Since there's so little time left to get FT8WW, beggars can't be
choosers and I'll take any mode I can get. I've been monitoring the
frequency of the last spot I saw and he's not there. I don't see anyone
competing a QSO with him, yet I see many people calling him. Will people
call the DX forever regardless of whether they can hear him? Sort of
like on CW, when some never stop calling and then wonder why they never
work the DX?
