Also would like to add an anecdote that I have a FN20 to EU (Belgium) QSO via RS-44 using eggbeaters and FT-4, so true DX is possible with a setup like that. IC-9700, eggbeaters, and a modern PC for cross continent sat qsos via FT-4.

Are eggbeater antennas viable with fast and low s/n modes like FT4?

We tend to congregate around the USB-Data allocations already in SATPC32. Don't be louder than the beacon. Operate in Full Duplex in accordance with NU1U's video guide. I have a vid on this topic as well and how to be courteous while using eggbeater (omnidirectional) antennas for FT4 as well. If you need a sked you can email me if we share a footprint. I'm in FN20

Today is my first day working FT4 on the birds.
Is there an info gathering place for the culture, polices, etiquette, frequencies, able birds, TX power, rules, etc, etc.
I'd like to get a bit educated before I go off and blunder as a newbie.
Thanks
