I was rather surprised how many FT8/FT4 contacts I was able to make during the solar flare event. A fraction of the usual, but signals WERE getting through. Shows just how robust the mode is. Good choice, bringing the Yaesu...this is no time for QRP!
Well said. Bands were D-E-A-D.
D-A-I-D. Dayyyyyy-ed.

Agreed. Ran 60w FT8. I knew I had to experience adverse conditions in case of Doom-Ze-Day!
33 contacts in 5 hours. Rough.
Nice work! 73!
Many thanks!
