I use FT8 but only in short periods! :lol: Actually after 3 or 4 contacts I get bored so go and do something else for a while then go back for another go.
spending all day would drive me round the proverbial.

Soldering iron and ft8, my wife is amazed I can multitask :lol: :o

I've started using FT8 on 4 and 6M using simple loops. It's surprising to see who can hear you on what appears to be a 'dead' band by watching PSKReporter.
