My attempts to get FT8 working

[M0XYF]

Very good work!

Just snuck into your log, I believe?

Yes thanks Bernie, I recognised your callsign when you answered my CQ call.

ps. Myself & John popped up to Jack & Jill for the MOTA and was informed we missed you by about an hour.

Four months on from my country count of 69 I have reached the grand total of 75.

Still need 25 to get a total of 100 within 12 months, will I or won't I that is the question?

12 Months is up on 1st Feb 2024

ps. Finally got Iceland in the log after 3/4 months of trying!

Just a quick update with my Digi mode escapade:
Didn't make the 100 countries in 12 months, still only 83 but trying (yes I know, very trying).

Didn't spend a long time today on it, only 12 contacts in total and 7 of those were into Japan.

After some weeks at 83 counties in my log, at last it's now 84.

And to my surprise & pleasure it was New Zealand, but still haven't managed it's much larger neighbour Australia!
