IK4LZH FT8 two ways QSO graphs
In 2018 I (IK4LZH) started some activities in FT8 by collecting data regarding number of QSOs, sent and received signals. I arrived to run three radios simultaneously, on three different bands, in order to study and analyze propagation. I decided to limit the two ways QSOs repetition to one a week for band for callsign, so to not annoy the correspondent. Thanks to great activity on FT8 and really thanks to a large number of friends interested, I am able to report some results that may be interesting. In the following gray scale plots, from 201901 to 202101. The plots are performed per band. In vertical the date, with the lines indicating month separation. In horizontal the 40 CQ zone with hourly resolution (from 00 to 23), with lines separating the CQ zone.
