FT8 and Q65 to JA during TEP on 2m

[JH6ETS]

Hi Dear VK OM's


My nane is TAKA JH6ETS(ham radio since 1972)



Sep.11  1158Z  JA6KJQ-VK8AW  2Way FT8 QSO!  144,46MHz

JA6KJQ(GL　PM51  kagoshima-city)  30W,8mHGP

I think this QSO is the first time for JA-VK's 2m FT8




I also had a QSO with VK8AW and 1133Z on September 15th.

My QTH is located in Fukuoka Prefecture in the northern part of Kyushu,

so the signal doesn't seem to be as strong as in southern Kyushu. GL　PM53LQ


There is information online that VK8AW signals have been received

in the JA4 area and Shimane Prefecture.



In March 1978, I was living in Oita Prefecture. (GL　PM52) At this time,

I am QSOing with VK8GB, VK8VV, and VK8ZBB on 2m SSB.

This was the year that the first 2m QSO was held on JA-VK.


JA conducts FT8 QSO at 144.46MHz.

2m　FT8 is possible up to 144.10-144.50MHz

The mainly used 144.46MHz will not change.
