    FT-8 and New Years Holiday

    I now know why the new fangled digital mode FT-8 is so popular.
    No one can tell how drunk you are ! Just point and double click
    on the other fellers callsign and he's in your logbook.

    Soo many people using that mode now its crazy.

    Cheers !
    AL7JK, John

    You haven't lived until you've worked Straight Key Night with a bug. While inebriated.
