[wsjt-devel] Public test of FT8 DXpedition mode March 6-7

2018-03-04 Thread Joe Taylor
Hi all, I write to remind you of the public test of *FT8 DXpedition Mode* scheduled for March 6-7. The more participants, the better! The main goal is to simulate pileups in which many "Hounds" call and attempt to work a desirable rare DX station, the "Fox", and to maximize the resulting QSO

Too bad, I was QRV at SK2AT and running a bit of FT8 with NA/SA @20m until about 30min ago when some aurora came along and transformed the signals to jingle bells and wasn't heard since. Looking forward to another try, either another test or for DXpedition. 73's and good luck with the test! ---
