[SEDXC] 6 M DX FT8 REPORT + CONTEST INFO

[Mike Greenway]

We finally had a good day after a dry spell into AF and southern EU.  
TZ, 6W, 7X, CN, bunches EA8, bunches EA6, 9H1, lots IS0. That was around 
noon time to around 2:15.

Just a note,the ARRL VHF Contest is on this weekend and if you plan on 
working anyone in the contest mode you will have to make changes in your 
WSJT.  JTDX does not have contest mode unfortunately.  In contest mode 
you only send grids so you can call someone and if they are in contest 
mode they will send a grid and if you dont send a grid in return the QSO 
will never complete..  It starts around 2 PM tomorrow and runs to 11 PM 
Sunday night.  Of course there will still be normal QSOs going on but if 
you see someone calling CQ Test 95% they are in contest mode.

Hard to tell what the conditions might be like but 6 was like 20 M today 
on FT8.  I had over 50 decodes a sequence a few times.
