Since I don't have a logging program integrated with WSJT-X, I pretty much
followed the strategy of calling CQ and letting the other stations decide
whether I was a dupe. Didn't always work well - had 4 QSOs with each of 2
stations, and 2 back-to-back QSOs with one. Wish there was a special FT8 message
for missing grid square (had a couple of QSOs with no grid) so didn't log them.
As everyone has noted, Saturday was OK, while Sunday was a bust. Best DX on
Saturday was EN82 (3155 km). Sunday's best was DM16.
Maybe I'll buy a VHF/UHF transceiver, but not sure low verticals will work well
enough on 144 and 432 to make it worth it here in the SF valley.
