2021年4月9日 · In all seriousness, I’ve read through multiple threads and I am still not clear on the proper way to identify the SOTA summit or call CQ SOTA in the FT8 text fields. What works for those activating via FT8?

FT8 is very effective for worldwide QRP communications on the HF bands. But there are only a few SOTA chasers who are using it! «Too many kilowatts of HF in the passband! CW is better …

2020年3月8日 · The standard FT8 frequencies on each band can often be too congested for a QRP SOTA station to cut through (or for possible S2S contacts) - true. However, several previous attempted skeds on alternative QRGs have not really been particularly successful.

2023年9月30日 · The FT8 station consists of an iPad, Icom IC-705, MFJ-902 tuner, a battery pack, and one of many wire antennas. In a previous post, I described getting the IC-705 set up for FT8 using the SDR-Control app on an iPad. My objective was to have a portable FT8 station for use during SOTA and POTA activations. To save time, let me get this out of the ...

2020年3月29日 · Just use the standard messages and the normal FT8 QSO protocol. Have your macro panel on display 2 - so that “Gen. msg” and “Free msg” appear. In your Free msg field, have your SOTA reference, preceded by the word ‘SOTA’ - ie “SOTA G/SP-015”.

DX FT8 is a FT8 Digital mode capable HF QRPp GUI (Graphical User Interface) based multiband Transceiver. DX FT8 is abreviation for Digital Xceiver for FT8. Main aim of DX FT8 Transceiver Project is to create a highly portable stand-alone FT8 GUI Transceiver.

Localeの設定は /etc/locale.gen を開いて、下記のように2行目のUS UTF-8を追加します。 そのあとコマンドラインから下のコマンドを打ちます。 # rootでやる必要がありますので“sudo”が必要です。 これでLocaleが変わりましたので、この後もう一度WSJT-Xをインストールします。 インストールが終わったら、下記のメニューからラズベリーパイとIC-705をUSBケーブルで接続し、IC-705の電源を入れた後に、WSJT-Xを起動します。 初期設定で下記の4点がハマりやすいと …

2019年8月4日 · 通聯開始，SOTA不限制任何模式，所以FM、SSB話務、CW甚至FT8/4都是可以的，但是不能使用衛星以外的中繼通聯。 D-STAR與DMR等數位無線電也可以，但必須是以電波直通的方式，不能使用透過網際網路的gateway通聯。 由於要有4個QSO以上，所以我通常會先使用FT8，取得4個通聯紀錄後，再開始SSB話務。 我們的鄰國日本的無線電玩家相對較多，所以我約80%的通聯都是與日本友台完成，其他也包括紐西蘭、印尼、泰國等。 回家後再上SOTAData …

I find the most reliable (and known to work) approach is to use FT8 (there just aren’t many PSK or RTTY monitoring stations left these days). I normally transmit my FT8 message 3 or 4 times, and the SOTAmāt mobile app helps you do this automatically.

2025年2月19日 · After studying the code, I found out its ft8 libraries support free text packing, so I modified pack.c and genft8.c to load extra parameters from SD card. Now I can send SOTA/POTA as free text.
