Hi Jason
Before the propagation disappeared recently I did a lot of JS8Call on 11m (27.245) and it worked very well for me.
I think I said on the chat that I have a 2E0 call but as I live in SW France it is not valid as they need a full licence. I did the Bath online course 2 years ago but missed it by 1 mark which pissed me off and even though I was offered a resit decide not to bother due to the study time again and the travel and accommodation costs. So here I am not really able to do any amateur stuff as most UK hams at least would smell a rat I think. On SSB anyway.
If you want to give JS8 a go any time when the prop is reasonable I would be happy to try it out with you. The latest version is 2.00 and allows you to set up multiple callsigns on multiple bands with the software that's running rather than having to reboot it every time and change the details.
There is a guy, 13WSF (Willy) near Bremen who is on all the time when the prop is working and I talk to him a lot.
Anyway, give me a shout on the chat if and when you would like to give it a whirl. I am not always on the radio but always see you when I am!

Thanks for info Ian, pity u cant just use F/UK call. But I been running FT8 1 year now on 10m and worked 93 DXCC this year alone, #1 in UK #16 in EU and #33 worldwide on 10m. not many takers for JS8 as most use FT8/FT4 modes. when allowed I will try sending a cq on 245 and see how it goes. I have all the latest digi modes software and have been running digi for about 30 years when I made my forst Hamcomm PCB and used DL4SAW SSTV as well as many older DOS/Win3 digimode software.

Hope to see you on my screen de 108XX002/MM3NRX - Jason

Hi Jason
My radio history goes back to 1965/70 when I was in a TA Sig Regt and we did HF/CW/FSK but changed to VHF radio relay with yagis in and out which became very boring once it was set up in a chain of vehicles up to 30 miles apart. You are just a repeater, no fun at all.
I never did the RAE and I wish I had now of course but there you are!
I only have the old DM80 software which doesn't have the latest modes. I know I could get the newer software but haven't as I don't feel I can do it.
So, anything on 27.245 is OK, JS8, Olivia, PSK31 etc and the others. I believe 27.500 is also used but I have never heard anything there. 27.635 has ROS on it now and again but I was a bit confused with the software, do you do that?

27.500 is mostly CW but I used to run PSK31 there a lot with success. I been running digi modes for 30 years now on 11m and my fav is still SSTV on 27.700.

Yesterday i had more than 50 Qso´s with JS8Call on 27.245MHz USB.
I have much Problem with PLC / Powerline (S5 - S9), but JS8Call can find the Signal without any Problem! Fine !

Thanks for the great Programm.

50+ QSO's in one day on JS8 on 27.245 USB WOW thats incredible (unbelivable) how did you manage that ? and how many countries did you work ? where these QSO's or were they ACK from sending out a HB from your station ? it was long ago I saw more than 20 or so monitors on 11m JS8 at any one time, propagation must have been really good that day, maybe Im doing something wrong !!.

The 11.February was a very good DX day.
Never seen bevor or after so many Stations.
The most was only ACK from sending HB.
The other Stations was QSO (someelse multiple with hours differenz).
Countrys > Sweden, Finland, Suizze, Austria, GB, Ireland, Isle of Man, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Greece, Netherland and Germany
A Station (only RX) from Peru? (8X2OEO/P) recieved 2 times with -26dB slowmode.

Hi guys. I am new to the digital part, I have about 2 months since my start, but I have always liked 11 meters, I started with FT8 on 11m but there is no station using that mode, then I installed JS8CALL and I see that there are many stations using it , that's why I stayed in that mode, if someone wants to do tests in FT8 we are at your service from Ecuador, my QRZ is 61RC110 Ernesto. 73s and I hope to hear from you all very soon.
