One of next week’s #HamRadioGoals will be to stop just talking about it & get some form of #FT8 -ish comms up & running. (The somewhat conversational variety that lets you type almost free-flow is the one I’ll be after.) I have an #IC7300 that has seen very little use & a small Gateway notebook that I think will be sufficient. So… I’ll do the research, but does anyone have suggestions for their top pick for a best website or YouTube chan / video perhaps? #KE0FFT #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

@KE0FFT sounds like you might want js8call possibly as well, of a chat like experience is desired?

Channels wise, I would point at either The Tech Prepper, or KM4ACK as good starting points: TTP is deeply focused on targeted comms, often with PC integrations, and KM4ACK covers all sorts of computer integrations with radio.

@beeznatch Thanks for the recommendations! I’ll check them out.

Yes try JS8CALL, it's fun and with 5W you'll contact the world. It's not overcrowded.

Just a tip : type few first words and then press "Send" and then you can continue typing the end of your message. The software will transmit (without waiting the end of your full message) when you are typing.
