2m FT8, daytime into the continent.

On the 9th of October, at 10:14, I was operating with 20 watts of FT8 on 144.174 MHz, using a Yaesu FT897, a Diamond X300N at about 80m ASL, vertical, a Signalink integrated USB sound card and CPC Farnell xchipi-X RS232 to USB adaptor, and WSJTX running on an Apple iMac 2012 with OSX Catalina.

Signals were received from Wales to France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Not utterly exceptional, but pretty good for mid morning in October!

Darenth Valley is a small, but friendly club, that meets on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at the Crockenhill Village Hall starting at 8pm.
