Re: LF: RE: 472kHz FT8 QSO?

You were -9 to -10dB S/N calling CQ on FT8, but you obviously were unable to copy me on FT8. I suspect your ERP is considerably greater than mine!

After the success last night on 472kHz WSPR (10mW ERP) with the earth-electrode "antenna" in the ground, I may try 472kHz FT8 this evening.

 

If you fancy a try please give me a call on FT8. I shall try 472kHz FT8 this evening probably after 1800z. I'll call CQ probably.
