I had put about six hours into trying to work FT8WW on 30m during his first week. I found that propagation wasn’t the greatest as he was decoding around -22. My luck changed yesterday (Jan 2), as signal levels were much higher. In the afternoon I had my first response back, although I did not copy a 73, so I tried later at night. At that point the signal levels were much improved, and it took about 30 minutes to break through.
Not very much after the contact, he updated ClubLog, and I saw that I had a confirmed contact in the system:
I’m looking forward for a chance to work him on 20m CW as well.
