[TVARC] FT8

[Charles Theisen]

Now, I am aware that many already know this but for those who don't.

If you are a wall paper chaser guy. If you like to chase countries, states
or whatever. If you like to fill your log with all that Stufff. Get yourself
on FT8. Ant then, get yourself an LOTW account and have at it. 

Last evening the bands were a bit quiet after all the weekend hubbub. I set
myself up on FT8. Worked 10 stations in 20 minutes, submitted them to LOTW
as I worked them and ---- BEHOLD ---- 6 out of the 10 were confirmed this
morning when I brought up the LOTW website. 

And you don't need no power. And you don't need no fancy antennas. Just get
on there and call CQ. Like flies to flypaper.

Now --- Like the Car salesman says   ---- "You can't do better than that -
Now Can you?"

Who says you can't play radio in The Villages?

Lots of folks are doing this and lots of folks are happy to help. Takes a
bit of doing to get up and running. And, setting up LOTW ain't no waltz in
the park either. But once set up ---- all works great.

So sorry ---- Exuberant Me.  J
