If you use the WSJT-X software for the JT modes, a recent update to Ham Radio Deluxe allows logging directly to HRD Logbook. He’s been knocking out a lot of contacts with wanted DX entities like Ducie Island, Baker Island, and most recently Banana Island. If you’re in the Columbus area and want a great presentation on FT-8, get in contact with Eldon. His presentation is loaded with graphics and pictures – my kind of presentation.
With terrible band conditions, many believe FT-8 has kept interest in ham radio alive. Eldon gave a very detailed presentation on FT-8 titled “DX Band-Aids for our Spotless Sun.” Nice play on words. Last month he was asked to give a presentation for the combined meeting of the Central Ohio Operators Klub and Newark Amateur Radio Association. Eldon created documentation about setting up and operating with the WSJT-X software. It has grown like wildfire due to the reduced time to make a contact, 15-second transmit windows compared to a minute, and the poor band conditions we’re experiencing. FT-8 was developed by Joe Taylor – K1JT and is the popular successor to the JT-65 & JT-9 modes. Technical Specialist, Eldon – W5UHQ, has been busy playing around with FT-8 when he’s not doing the Ohio Digital Emergency Net.

Those residing outside the section will need to use the mailing list link above. If you are an ARRL member and reside in the Ohio Section, update your mailing preferences to receive Ohio Section news in your inbox.

You can receive the Journal and other Ohio Section news by joining the mailing list Scott has setup.
Once my article is published in the Journal, I will also make it available on my site with a link to the published edition. It is published by the Section Manager Scott – N8SY and articles are submitted by cabinet members. The Section Journal covers Amateur Radio related things happening in and around the ARRL Ohio Section. One of the responsibilities of the Technical Coordinator in the Ohio Section is to submit something for the Section Journal.
