One of next week’s #HamRadioGoals will be to stop just talking about it & get some form of #FT8 -ish comms up & running. (The somewhat conversational variety that lets you type almost free-flow is the one I’ll be after.) I have an #IC7300 that has seen very little use & a small Gateway notebook that I think will be sufficient. So… I’ll do the research, but does anyone have suggestions for their top pick for a best website or YouTube chan / video perhaps? #KE0FFT #AmateurRadio #HamRadio
@KE0FFT Sounds like PSK31 and similar modes is for you. It's fun and very conversational if you type okay. Also, CW is the most fun.
@shuttersparks Thanks for the suggestion. The CW is a skill that I have (always room for improvement), and I agree, it’s fun! I’m basically just looking to add another mode to the toolbox. Getting up and running with Winlink will also be on the short list before too long.
@KE0FFT Yes, CW is like flying. You're never 100 percent happy with a landing. And yes, CW is HARD. But the payoff is huge and well worth it. It's so much fun when it becomes second nature. This takes 1 to 2 years of constant practice. But then... oh boy is it fun.
You know you're there when you hear a call or DX, and aggressively dive on the key without thinking.
