FT8 and Data Mode Awards Made Easy and Free

[@royvanlaar471]

My third tab (ball)from left will not go green, so cannot request awards. what is wrong?

I have many ADI files. If I open each one, are the QSO's added up as I go, or do I need to combine all my ADI files into one big file?

[@TheHamRadioJunkie]

You can submit all of them and they will all count. I only have one file but upload new files as and when.

Excuse my ignorance but what are the rewards for? I have not been involved in any way with FT8, is it just to say you have achieved something that you print off yourself to save buying wallpaper?

[@TheHamRadioJunkie]

Just another part of the radio hobby. Awards are given for the different countries or stations worked.

@@TheHamRadioJunkie Oh, okay. With FT8 I thought it was easy even with low power. Maybe that is something I should look into in the future. But I do prefer to talk to someone, that is why I like SSB, Morse is something I am going to look into in the colder weather and my licence. I don't care for 2mtr and 70cms much, not that there is many on up here these days, there used to be, but not much heard these days.
Surprised you still get QSL cards from some operators, I thought it would be all electronic these days, work a station, go to Web and print it off if you want one. QSL?
