A nice surprise on 60m FT8
I was on 60m operating FT8 just after finishing dinner and to my surprise a fellow blogger John AE5X was calling me on the waterfall. A very nice surprise for sure I have read his blog for some time and it was great to make contact with him on the rig.

Been loving FT8, hammering the radio since i got it back up and running, never even thought about 60m and in the last 1/2 after reading this, i’ve made dozens of contacts 😀
Good evening Charles, yes 60m is very active and I too just am not able to get 80m to tune with the limited antenna I have but 60m works great. Glad you found a new band with a new adventure attached to it.
