Sorry, can't resist. 15 sec vs 47 sec is a 68% decrease in QSO time. So, I only have to wait for 32% of the paint to dry? [:-)

I know many of you are a CW die hard, but have you tried the new digital mode FT-8? It is from Joe Taylor, WSJT-X version 1.8.0-rc1. Easy to get up and running. Specially a breeze with the K3S and its USB communications. It makes JT-65 and other modes appear like watching an Oak tree grow. The T/R times are 15 seconds and it decodes about 20 dB deeper than previous versions.

It also has a very nice receiver calibration mode. I find that on most bands my K3S is reported to have less than 1/2 Hz error. {Big smile!}

Max,

I know the feeling. We're also in the middle of the CQ VHF Contest :).

Wayne,

Thanks for the nice qso on 15 :). It was a nice little break from spinning the beams and working the noise on 6 & 2 :). SubRx in the K3 makes it easy to listen omni and beam at the same time :).

Wayne, the NAQP RTTY contesting going on... it started at 1800Z today. It goes for 12 hours. There are a lot of signals on 15 meters, about half as
many as I'm seeing on 20 meters here in Utah.

Hi all,

Based on info from dxmaps.com, 15 meters should be open. Hearing a few
signals.

If you’d like to participate in a 15 meter “flash mob” experiment, please drop by on 21040 +/- 5 kHz. Initially, callsigns ending in A-L listen, M-Z
call CQ (myself included).

Not a contest, no rules, no award credit, just an excuse to get on the air.
