Digital

PODXS070 Three-Day Weekend Contest kicked off on Thursday night. I made 8 contacts on 40m pretty early. Some of my contacts were bonus stations. It ultimately got overwhelming with at least 2 other digital contests going at the same time.

I used the fully-extended, large dipole kit and the RTL-SDR to successfully receive lots of 40m signals. It may have been especially busy, since it was Labor Day in the US and Canada. I found FT8 (40m and elsewhere) signals from St Lucia, Slovinia, South America, Cuba, and a little FT4 (40m).

I also found some BPSK31, RTTY/45, and still unidentified digital signals.

I had fldigi listening to SDR++ tuned to 7096kHz LSB for 20 minutes and decoded a couple different documents via differetn modes.

I also spun the dial to catch a couple other transmissions.
