FT-8 experiment called-off Torsten, DL8KFO, one of the organisers of the DR4K experiment told Southgate News that the event has been called-off. Torsten writes: After receiving almost 100 requests for skeds in the last 24 hours, it was decided with a heavy heart to cancel the test with DR4K. The intention was to explore how quickly one can reach a goal with a small station and a modern operating mode. I didn't expect that an announcement posted on Friday, would cause a real hype so quickly. On the one hand, the enthusiasm of the interested radio amateurs is a sign of a lively hobby; on the other hand, the parameters for the test have already been disturbed in such a way that one should not expect a valid result. So the test will be carried out at a later date without prior notice and will only be communicated afterwards. I am sure that the decision taken is in line with the spirit of our experimental radio service. 73 and thank you for your interest!
