Bret/N4SRN, I am running a KX3 indoors into a mag loop for 40-30-20 and I get plenty of wspr spots on my signal at 1 watt or less, and can hear others too. FT8 needs more signal though, the packets are 1/8 as long (15 seconds compared to wspr 2 minutes) and is still trying to push similar amounts of data in a much shorter amount of time. So it is a lot more of a challenge to make a two way contact. If you are being heard in single minus digits that is pretty good, my signal is usually in the twenties. I think I made like one or two FT8 contacts when I first tried out WSJT-x, but lately my attempts to make an ft8 contact have been unsuccessful. I would say just keep trying, and eventually you'll make ft8 contacts. I mostly stay with 40 meters though, seems to be the best overall band these days for me. I am looking forward to the 40 meter add-on for the AX1! 73's, Mike AB7RU / Spokane WA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net
