We all have our wills & wont's.
For me, I will always prefer CW. I won't
turn down a needed DX if it's on FT8. I
will try for that same DX on CW even if I
have the FT8, but I'd do that with SSB
also. There's only 8 more DXCC ATNO I need
& I have the same # in both mixed & CW. I
might have
I lived on Mt Hamilton Road for 20 years, but that ended 8 years ago.
I'm not aware of any hams further up Mt Hamilton than the Grandview
restaurant and Three Springs Ranch development. There are two FM or UHF
TV towers on the hill SSW of there. They are in the FCC database. My
ranch/QTH
Dear TopBanders,
Ed Sawyer raises a very timely and important question.
It is a fact that both CW and FT8 have large followings today.
DXpeditions now face a dilemma on 160 meters: to operate CW or FT8. Do only
one, and you will make a lot of people unhappy. Because on TB, you can not
make up
I’ve made a few FT8 Q’s and really enjoyed setting up the system and getting it
to work. That was great fun! Now I find it very unsatisfying and the “click
and wait” to see if I worked the station pretty dull.
I have nothing against the mode and don’t want to “fight the future” but, for
me,
They ain't gonna work me. I'm with you. Did the FT-8 last summer for around
400 Qs...that was quite enough. If I don't make 200, 300 countries because I
don't FT-8, so what?

I was our for a bike ride up to Mt. Hamilton Observatory today in the East
hills of San Jose and came upon an antenna on a ridge made of what appeared to
be Rohn 25 maybe 100 feet tall with three top loading wires slipped down at
about 30 degrees.
The antenna looked absolutely fabulous.

There continues to be a trend for DXpeditions to be "active on 160M" by
firing up FT8. Sadly, in some cases, recently XT2 and 5T5, there appears to
be no attempt to be on 160M except for FT8. A far different scenario that
utilizing it because of bad band conditions. I worked 5T5 on 20, 40, 80M

The problem for the climate wizzkids is that the Maruder minimum correlates
exactly to theamount of glacial ice in the northern hemisphere, thus if true,
they are going to have to paintthe glaciers black to make their predictions
will be correct.
