Hi all,
With the increasing TEP contacts on 6m their may be opportunity to try FT8 or Q65 on 2m to JA.
I've contacted a couple of JAs and the informed me they listen on 144.460 for both FT8 & Q65 - right in the middle of our beacon segment!
VK to JA has been done on 2m in the past on CW, most notably between VK8 and VK4 to JA so there is no reason why FT8 or Q65 wont make it
Those of us in the southern states may be able to make the trip too given recent conditions.
I've told the JA's they are welcome to join us on vkspotter, so don't be surprised if a few turn up there
Lets avago !
cheers
Tim
