I've been on #17m #ft8 building up contacts for whatever awards and cards I get. It's been *super* fun for several reasons.
1) I know why ft8 works so well. I know a lot about #LDPC codes and #digital comms. It's a joy to use this mode. It's literally the best FEC outside of #Polar codes. We rock!
2) It seems to tick off the local very old white male DX club to no end that "lazy people are getting dxcc for nothing!" rawr grumble fulminate etc
