Hi Gedas --

That would be fun!  I should be on at 8:30 tonoight, and assuming I
wake
up in time, I'll try to be on tomorrow AM around 8:00 trying both FT8
and MSK144.

Hi there John. I can run with you if you like. I am not experienced

in

FT8 QSO's (I think I have made 1-2 Q's using that mode, mostly CW and

MSK144 for MS etc) but willing to give it a go if you like. 73

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Not much luck tonight -- Randy, WB8ART, and I almost made it but I
don't think he ever heard my RRR message. He was as strong as +01

but

faded down to -18 and then disappeared entirely.  I am guessing he
just couldn't hear me.

I heard one CQ each from KT8O in EN71 and KD8JQ in EN91, but nothing

more.

Happy to try again tomorrow night.  Also wondering if morning might

be

worth a try?

    Hi --

    I'll be in EN75 for another 10 days and haven't yet spent much
    time on 2M.  If anyone would like to try for an FT8 contact, I
    can be on the air around 8:30 EDT most evenings.

    My amp is still dead, so I only have 100W and 12 el beam.  But
    it may still be possible to work down to the Dayton area as I
    heard Jimmy W8PLZ here a couple of weeks ago.

    Anyway, if anyone wants to try a sked, please drop me a line at
    jra at febo dot com and we can try just about any evening.

    73,
    John
