I’m having fun with this new FT8Call and I think you will too. In this video I just go over the basics and then calling CQ. Fortunately Mike, WO9B came back to my call and we had a nice short QSO. Watch and then give it a try, I think you’ll like it.
In this video: Setting up the waterfall, setting up macros, setting up RX on the radio, Description of FT8Call windows, directed and standard messages and much mich more.

I’m an Amateur Radio enthusiast. I love the hobby and experimenting with radios, antennas and software. I have a lot of fun. On my YouTube channel I upload videos mostly on the Icom 7300 and Icom 7610 as well as Ham Radio software programs. I hope to inspire people to get involved in Amateur Radio.
