Looking to see FT8 activity pick up on WARC bands. 17 seems like the perfect place in the day, 30 at night. Need to find a new place off of 20!
People really should use 17m more. I'm dxing into the USA, from Seoul on it a lot, lately. I suppose whatever keeps people buying radios is a good thing. At least the bands are being used.
I've been been having a lot of fun on 17-12m DX lately. I've been on 20 only when the others are dead.
While it's tempting to stay on 20, there is a lot of space out there we should play in. I think I'll re-tune my single attic dipole to 17 this weekend and see how the fishing is.
17 meters has been crazy these past few days for ft8. Little light today, but lots of DX and still seeing CQ zones and countries I have never been in contact with. Wish there was more rag chew there but have had some. Very hard for me to work anything under 1,000 miles.
17 meters psk31 signals are disappearing with the frequency occupied by ft8. no good at all... 18100 is psk frequency ft8 must be relocated. pskreporter was very interesting expecially for ham with modest antenna to see what happen with propagation at the time, but now due to ft8 98% of station on pskreporter have switched to ft8, it's now unseful for psk.....
