<p dir="ltr">Thanks for the offer Paul. I am probably jumping the gun slightly. I bought the interface so that I could get it before the deminimus tariff exemption went away. I got it just in time. I hadn't planned to start playing with it just yet.</p>

The makers of Easylog ham software (which I REALLY like) have
created an FT8 book. I have not seen it but some here may be
interested.<br>

<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">Please, PLEASE, make sure that
you <b>check (enable) that 'Hold TX Freq' check box </b>within
WSJT-X (or the equivalent in your software of choice). This
will prevent you from changing your TX frequency to the TX
frequency of the station you are calling. The result is that
all callers will be spread out over the 3khz passband rather
than all bunched up on the TX frequency of the station they
are calling. This is especially important when trying to
contact special event stations or a rare DX station.</font></p>
<p><font size="4" face="Verdana">Also, try to set your FT8 TX
frequency on an even 50hz increment (500hz, 1150hz, 2200hz,
etc) within the passband. This will maximize the use of the
resource and preventing potential QRM with signals
overlapping.</font></p>
