@parcastroprades It's in front of the trees! More AI crap.

@ei2ip I managed DP0GVN in Antarctica on FT8 this afternoon! I hope he pops up on ssb sooner or later.

@ei2ip 7 over 7 over 7 and 1.4kW, wow!

@G4TJJ I saw a similar effect when running portable on 2m near a telecom mast. After investigating and speaking with someone it was thought to be a paging system on 150Mhz

@g4wam A mixture CW ssb ft4 ft8. This morning called Cq and had 20 min chats with two VKs one running 30w. Now my focus has changed to ssb, my CW is passable but slow. This morning it seemed easier to work VK on phone than ft8. All good fun, wind stopped play again..

@Johnsontechword Amateur radio certainly educated us in many ways demonstrated by your serendipitous find!

@Johnsontechword Thanks Jon!

@2m0etj Beautiful

@SteveTrewick I wish I had a clue what you are on about Steve...

@G0MOH_Rob I'm not quite sure my station is good enough or moreover, desirable enough..but, you are right. It's a great band, propagation is interesting.

@radiotelescoop @PI9CAM @JMuijlwijk This is like aircraft scatter on steroids! I hope the satellite is ok..

@Mike__happy @g4cch I think it's an individual thing. As long as the user enjoys and learns that's the point. Obviously one cannot compare an ft8 dxcc with a ssb or CW dxcc in terms of difficulty. It's more of an issue for the award body, ARRL, etc.

@LU8MIL @elonmusk @SpaceX @arrl @ITU @DARC_eV @AMSAT Not good if he's transmitting he will get brain cancer or go blind

@m0cvo Some of the birds (I think they are crows and the like) near me seem to enjoy it flying at great speed around the fields.

@ei2ip He's a great operator and radiates a fine signal..

@n0njy Yes 3 section metal tube, something like 6-15m (18-45') approx.

@M0JFE I hope it passes you without damage

@Mike__happy You are right dxcc isn't what it was! I'll never apply for the award, it's just a nice target. FT8 is an excellent propagation indicator and certainly has it's place. I'm picking quite a few off on ssb and CW I've never seen on FT8 so all good fun.
