A fantastic FT8 guide!
20 January 2018 | by If you have or are thinking of diving into the FT8 digi world I was made aware via a Dutch blogger Paul PA0K (his brand new call) of this amazing FT8 operating guide by Gary Hinson ZL2ifb. This guide is for the seasoned FT8 op, the beginner and those who are not sure if they really want to give it a go but would like to learn what it's all about. I won't to go on and on about the guide..... just read it and find out for yourselves, it's a great addition to anyone interested or operating FT8.

Thanks Mike VE3WDM for this, I want to give ft8 a try, thus will be a great help!
Thanks Mike. One of the best write ups I have seen so far. Lots of really good information. Since FT-8 has given me 9 awards so far maybe the new information will help me double it… 😉

Nice guide with practical visuals
Good morning Mike, yes I believe the guide will take a lot of the frustration out of operating the mode. It’s very clear on the setup and operation of the mode.

Good morning Harry hope all is well out your way, yes as I was reading through the guide it gave me new hope for the mode. I was hitting some walls were I was not really wanting to continue with the mode BUT this manual has renewed my fire for FT8.

Great guide!
I just wish there was an iPhone TNC modem app for operating FT8, JT65, & JT9.
That would make operating SOTA so much easier.
I have had to redo my settings on ft 8 and having difficulty getting the s to appear in can this be fixed? thank-you for the help. 73
Link to guide doesn’t work…..
Good afternoon Art, I went to the page and found the link to Paul PA0K is not working as he has moved his blog. BUT you
can still get to the guide by clicking on the next link in the post. I clicked on the link “FT8 operating guide by Gary
Hinson ZF2IFB” Give it that link a try and get back to me if it does not work for you. I can then email it to you but try
it and let me know.
