I've "made a contact", if you want to call it that, with that robot twice now.
That's about the only use I have for FT8; making contacts that shouldn't count
for anything, although, I think ARRL accepts them for the grid chase thingy.

ps. At least it didn't send me a text via JTAlert telling me what to send next,
as happened on a "QSO" with some west African station.

qsos.....from some pretty rare grid squares !!!!
