[SECC] DX

[Jeff Clarke]

Rick,

One of the guys I worked probably could have been worked on CW. EA6VQ 
was +6 dB on FT8. I'm just passing the time in retirement working these 
guys on 6 meters, but you will never hear me in a HF FT8 contest. In a 
VHF contest I will probably do some FT8 because you can make some extra 
contacts when you hear no one on CW or SSB. You probably don't ever what 
to get into EME because 100% on the contacts are on JT65 which is a 
cousin to FT8. I've tried some RTTY but got bored with that. I did a few 
RTTY contests calling people and got WAS and DXCC. Now I just get on 
RTTY to work new countries on digital.  Take care OM.

Jeff
