Just here in my club, The Villages ARC, we have trained over 100 new Technicians in the last 3 years - some are just now getting an antenna (HOA restrictions). My point is this: once your happy with the software could someone on your team create a step by step guide on operating for rank beginners? I see FT8 as a solution for a number of converging issues namely: compromised antennas, poor propagation, local noise (my s meter hovers around s-8 - none of it in my QTH) and newly minted HAMs reluctant to make phone contacts due to age and poor hearing (yes that's me too). You have created the right solution at the right time. Earle KM4ISN ---------- Amateur radio is the most expensive type of free-of-charge communication!
