FT8 QSO PARTY
« on: April 16, 2018, 02:56:00 PM »

Eastern Michigan Contest Club will be sponsoring “W8F” during the week of April 28th to May 6th 2018 for our 1st Annual Digital FT8 mode celebration QSO Party.
 
We are planning on operating 9am to 5pm on April 28th on 5 bands at one time using WSJT-X FT8 Mode.

There will be a certificate PDF available to those who work us on 5 bands buy sending in your QSO data for 5 band contacts to KD8VSQ.

We will be active through the week also hoping to get in some 80 and 160 during the night times.

How will you stay awake.  FT8 is BORING!  Not really a 'party' mode.

I dunno, when I worked China (and zone 23) the day before yesterday for a new country and a new zone, I was pretty stoked.  Worked Honduras for a new country yesterday too.  Boring is as boring does.  :)

If you had done that on SSB or CW, I would agree with you.  On FT8, BORING!
