JS8Call with Gregg K6XSS

Video Not Working? Fix It Now

As a relatively new ham, Gregg K6XSS found interest in FT8 as a weak signal communications protocol. However, while FT8 is a powerful tool, the brevity of the contact procedure led Gregg to explore a bit deeper and found JS8Call. “It takes the robustness of FT8 mode and layer on a messaging and network protocol for weak signal communication on HF with a keyboard-to-keyboard interface.” (https://js8call.com/) Gregg's natural curiosity prepared him for this presentation, as he admits he is not an expert. This is an excellent teaching experience for anyone interested in learning something new that extends your computer to your amateur radio hobby.
