[TVARC] FT8 Operating Guide by ZL2IFB [Advice + Tips for using the FT8 Mode in WSJT-X software for HF DX'ing]

[Anthony Hackenberg]

Hi Members of TVARC”s MailList (especially those interested in using FT8 Mode for DX'ing),

Below is the link to a handy reference, entitled "FT8 Operating Guide: Weak signal HF DXing for technophiles,” (version 2.37, dated 2021), by Gary Hinson (ZL2iFB).  It’s full of practical advice and tips regarding running FT8 mode (using Joe Taylor’s WSJT-X software).

Here’s the link (URL) to that guide:

Of course, the official “bible” for getting started with the "WSJT-X" software is the "WSJT-X User Guide,” by Joseph H Taylor, Jr, K1JT.  Currently, it’s at version 2.7.0.  You can access it (and the software and related materials at these links (URLs):
