Hi Gang,
K2QO here looking for some basic info. Next week I will be running WSJT on 6
and 2M for the Sweeps. As of today, all I have running is PSK31 using
DigiPan. In fact, I just made my first ever digital Qs last night! I'm
looking for any advice related to "gotchas" or "snafu's" that I should be
aware of as I set this up. I have the WSJT manual and K1JT's article from
QST published back in 2001 or so.
So, here is my setup:
FT-100D
150W on 2M, M2 2M7 at 60'
100W on 6M, Hy-Gain DX64 at 55'
Signalink SL-1
Dell 610 Laptop running N1MM and WSJT
Maybe you know of settings I may need to change on the radio that are not
generally listed anywhere?
Which direction should I point the beams for contacts?
How long should I stick with an incomplete contact before I move on?
Are scheduled contacts much easier to complete than randoms?
Thanks es CU in the contest!
Mark K2QO
