    60m FT8

    Posted: 24 Nov 2021 01:02 AM PST http://g3xbm-qrp.blogspot.com/2021/11/60m-ft8.html


    Last evening and overnight I was on 60m FT8 using the Wellgood active loop
    RX antenna on the shack windowsill. Best DX was 9Y4DG (7209km). Earlier attempts at 60m WSPR resulted in just 3 unique spots. In the first few
    minutes on FT8, 16 stations were spotted!!

    60m WSPR RX (Tuesday)

    For a change I am on 60m WSPR RX. There appears to be 2 WSPR frequencies
    and I am monitoring 5.3647MHz, which is in the WARC band. The antenna is
    the Wellgood active loop on the shack window.
    So far this evening, 3 German stations spotted on 60m WSPR.
