Since my blog also has a archive function I wonder how we look at this document in a few years? Would there still be a digital mode like FT8? I think we just experience a start from what is possible with this kind of technology.
I started with WSPR in 2009, 11 years ago. What will the next 11 years bring?
I'd much prefer a return to something where there is a meaningful human element. FT8 is, mostly, just logbook filling. JT65A at 200mW from the coast. That's a lot more fun.
ReplyDeleteJohn, they are talking about a kind of WSPR mode next. So just wait and see. 73, Bas
DeleteI prefer JT65 & 9 too with low power ofcourse, its sad that FT8 is mainly a qro mode todays. I wonder if some dxpeditions can decide to have a little qrp activity, lets say 1 hour per day. On digimodes is easy to accept real weak signals only 73
ReplyDeleteAlso prefer JT65 & JT9 with low power ofcourse. I am hopping (and waiting hi) always for dxpeditions with litlle qrp activity lets say 1 hour/day. With wsjt-x its easy to accept only true weak signals 73
ReplyDeleteAnd I also prefer JT65 and JT9 with QRP, low power. I don't like FT8 mode and for me it is a logbookfillermode
ReplyDeleteSorry but that is my personal opinion. 73 Hans, PE1BVQ
Luckely JTDX does JT65 and JT9 as well....but rarely anyone use it these days. I agree with all your comments but till now let's get the best out of FT8. 73, Bas
