For those of you in this association of DXers who are interested in non-voice digital-mode DX:

If you've taken a plunge into the FT8 WSJT-X digital shortwave pool, but you've not yet ventured out into the wider digital landscape beyond FT8, this video might inspire some confidence that it isn't as daunting as appears at first look.

Come join in with other digital modes, now. FT8 is nice to get wallpaper and fill up a log book but it sorely lacks in a way to make true community by way of meaningful dialog over the air. That is where a mode like Olivia comes in: this keyboard-to-keyboard chat mode is very good at overcoming propagation issues.

If you want to know more about using Olivia, check out this link:
