October Meeting – Working rare DX (and VK9CV!) with FT8 – Grant VK5GR

The next AREG meeting will be held on Friday the 18th of October at the Fulham Community Centre – Phelps Court, Fulham, with doors opening at 7:00 PM, and the presentations kicking off at 7:30 PM. Everyone is welcome!

WSJT-X 2.7.0 RC-5: Revolutionizing DXpeditions with SuperFox Mode - Unicom RadioVK9CV – Cocos (Keeling) Islands

Grant will discuss what the different multi-stream FT8 systems are, and provide some tips on how to work out which mode a DX station is using. He will also introduce the new Superfox mode and explain what makes it tick.

Grant is also operating on the upcoming Cocos Island VK9CV DXpedition, and will give us a brief on what they will be doing on the island, and how to best find them on the bands, including some tips for alerting the VK9CV team when 6m opens to Cocos Island.

If you’ve never come along to one of our meetings, we’d love to see you there, all guests are welcome. For our remote members, the meeting will be broadcast via Zoom.

After the talks we’ll all be given an opportunity to have an eyeball QSO among ourselves whilst enjoying a tea or coffee and a biscuit.

73, Mark VK5QI
