Side effect of COVID-19 on FT8

[VK2DCR]

A whole new world. I finally assembled the constituent parts of a HF digital station in March (FT450AT, signalling and Windows 10 PC - with a real serial port) in March and loaded WSJT-X. Stations can be seen, worked where there is only noise on SSB. Quite exciting and the same sort of thrills back when I was first licenced and having QSOs on simplex 2m in the early 70s.
A bonus is being able to run the station remotely using VNC or Teamviwer.
