FT-8 Mode on 2 meters

22/12/2019 14:45

I am starting my operation in FT-8 mode on 144174kHz (2 meters band). I use my Digi Interface and MSHV software by Christo, LZ2HV. I have made QSOs with the Czech Republic and neighbor countries (SP,DL,OE,OM) and France (over last two days).  The propagation conditions on 2 meters are not too good now.

 

My other equipment is: TRX IC7410, 28 to 144 MHz transverter by UR3MLZ, PA LA250 V  (output power for FT-8 about 100W) and 7 el. DK7ZB Yagi antenna.

 

I will see if I enjoy this activity (I am already a little old and probably a little conservative).
