FT8 is a popular digital radio communication mode used by amateur radio operators worldwide to make fast, weak-signal contacts. I transmit on 10M (28.074 MHz) at 20W over a simple dipole antenna. My rig is a XIEGU G90 HF transceiver. The basic information exchange is call sign, location, power, signal strength received with a date/time group.
