Just a heads-up for any followers....
I do not want anything political. If you post politics, or religion, you'll be unfollowed and/or blocked

But also back in the day when the total number of submitted logs for CQWW RTTY was in the hundreds

My best was during CQWW RTTY many years ago.
Heard them on 80m, but with a big pileup. I called, and the reply was "QRX, only the GU pls".
Oh yes! Made my day

Nice one to get though 👌

I got a match too. Been a while since I worked HC8 before that

I've just done the same...
Updated last Friday, and not yet had a chance to do anything with it. Need to get all my work and programs across from the old machine

Managed to get a half hour of shack time this afternoon, and 10m was buzzing into the mid west USA. Seems like I was a new one for many too

Peeing down here, occasionally very heavy, and quite breezy too....
Enjoy the fine weather while you can Chris

Pleased to work 5K0UA San Andrès on 12m FT8. That was the last band I needed that entity on, so well happy 😊

Not a lot of choice here, so it had to be online

Oh, we've all done silly things, but most of us quickly realise and correct it.

I also got Antoine 3D2AG, although I have worked him before... it showed as a new slot, but wasn't.
I also saw Fred G4BWP work E6AD

I've been hoping to get E6 on 10/12m, but until this morning, I haven't been able to hear him at all, so very surprised to hear him at -06 and even more surprised to get him 1st call....
Didn't expect that.
Just need 12m now

Well, that was a big surprise this morning...
E6AD really strong on 10m FT8, so got that for a new slot, and my 30m FT4 contract has shown up in the online log.
Also had a nice run of JA's on 10m this morning

That was happening too. To the point where nothing git decoded. And then, and SP started calling CQ on top of the SU......
Oh, and so many calling on 1500Hz. Makes you wonder about folk 🤔

Makes you wonder, doesn't it.
I know we all do.silly things, but they're usually quickly spotted and corrected.
This guy was calling for around 15 minutes 🤪

Had to smile....
Working on 30m FT8, and SU0ERA is on 2nd period, with loads of callers.
Then I see M0LUX call him on the 2nd period 🤔
Surely he can see the dozens calling him on the 1st period?
And he kept calling, even when SU0ERA had gone QRT 😒

Indeed... I guess many folk just passed it by.
There's already plenty of YT videos on how and why, so I doubt yet another will reach a new audience

Phil_GU0SUP @gu0sup.bsky.social · 6d
Thanks... probably not as good as it could have been, partly due to RSGB requirements

I did try with my Radcom article, but there's still many UK stations doing things wrong

Yeah, there's loads who rely on Windows time, and do6realise it isn't good enough.
Same is folk who use the default 1500Hz to call......

Had an issue on 10m FT8 this afternoon...
2 stations call me on my QRG, so I send 2stns nil. Sig strength goes up, but still no cope. Send use split. Even bigger, wider signals, and no decode again.
Some very bad signals on the band elsewhere too

But it's a long way off, so you need to wind things up to 11 to make sure get in 😉🤣🤣🤣
