Mini-circuits also makes a passive splitter (ZFSC-2-4)that works fine for this - though any passive device will cost you 3.5-4 dB 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse Beacon Network at , now spotting RTTY activity worldwide. For spots, please use your favorite "retail"

Topband: FT8 vs other modes - my numbers

There are some untrue things being assumed here, as if they are advantages to FT8 that make FT8 be a more productive mode for DX'ing. In fact FT8 is the least productive of all modes I used in 2018. And I was on FT8 a lot in 2018. I tried hard to be productive in FT8 - measured in Q's per hour,

Re: Topband: Reverse Beacon Network

The reason PSK reporter is so one-sided to FT8 is that the WSJT software AUTOMATICALLY sends the spot to PSK Reporter. If you are on CW or SSB, you have to MANUALLY enter your spot on PSK Reporter. Don’t draw too many conclusions from the PSK graphs, they are substantially FT8 reports.

Re: Topband: Reverse Beacon Network

>"However going to reversebeacon.net and entering my callsign - I can find out that I am indeed getting out and the band is open..." If PSKReporter is to believed, total global CW activity across bands is now less than 1% of FT8. For example, look at the report for the last 12 hours (0.4%).

Re: Topband: JAs in "droves"

HF frequencies are not really used for communications these days except for backup or emergency purposes. Ironically, this fact will take the pressure off of auctioning the Amateur 160 Meter and HF bands. I worked for two companies that ran HF Coastal stations, ITT and AT ITT wanted to close

Topband: FT8 (again)

I think the time has come to wind down the discussion on FT8 here. I think it has been discussed enough for everyone to have their views and I don't think more discussion is going to change anyone's mind about how they feel about it. This is not something well aligned to the focus of this list.

Topband: CQWW 160m SSB- HR

Speaking of CQ160 SSB and ARRL DX CW, I will be in HR for both of the contests this year. Callsign will either be HR9/W1UE or HQ9X (I don't have the authorization for the HQ9X yet). I plan on putting in a full effort with a KW and a dipole from the Chillax Roatan station in both contests.

Re: Topband: JA's came in droves today on 160

Terry makes the crucial point: FT8 (and the likes) should be in a different class. Other hobbies do that: sailboats don't race against power boats, etc. I don't think that there is much point arguing whether FT8 is Amateur Radio or not. It is. I don't care for it, but I have been involved with
