All, Once I was able to send out invitations for the list, we started getting people to join. I am hoping we can use this list as a vehicle to promote and improve the GAPA Program. I think it's

All, Yuri, UT1FG/MM is starting back across the south Atlantic headed for Europe. He's available ft8 most every day on 20M and 40M, sometimes on 17M and 80M. He always has a good signal and is a

So, what sub-bands? They would be wise not to use the normal FT8 frequencies. 73, Ken, AB1J

Ken, For this FT8 activity (and virtually all other special event stations), there are no explicitly defined 'sub-bands', just the conventional recommended frequencies as listed in the K1JT WSJTx

All, We were picked up by Southgate Amateur Radio News. I just saw it on QRZ and noticed we have gained a couple of new people. Hope everyone had a good weekend. 73 Alan

All, Glad to see new members to the list. Which provinces are tough for you? Right now I think everyone in VE4 lives in Winnipeg and VK8 in Darwin. I have multiple contacts in VK8 and one grid. One
