| My single 70cm SSB contact |
To say I am under-equipped for 70cm SSB is a gross understatement! I use 10W to a 144MHz omni big-wheel antenna. I have a very poor voice as well, which does not help.
Usually I manage a few contacts and give up after about 30 minutes. This time I gave up after a single contact. I get the impression SSB activity is going down. I may be totally wrong. It is a shouting match that I find hard these days.
FT8 amazes me as I consistently spot stations at vast distances and have no trouble being received at distances I only dream about on SSB.
