FT8 HEAVYWEIGHTS is an unofficial FT8 Special Event which… can be considered
simply an FT8 Sked meet, it was first conceptualized in December 2019 a week before Christmas day,
and launched on the First Saturday after Christmas,
invitations were sent out to a lot of EXOTIC DXCCs and we were joined by over 75% of the
invitations sent out due to the last minuete time frame… some of them are J69DS, J35X, 9Y4D,
9Y4DG, 3G3G, VP8NO, TR8CA, VP2ETE, E51BQ, ZS6C to name a few
we met on non standard FT8 Frequencies for example 14.064, 7.064 etc,
WE DO NOT USE F/H mode or Multi Streaming in this event
and in 2020 with keeping that tradition will be no different, we do expect your best operating practice,
if you have been looking for some Exotic DXCCs in your FT8 quest,
then FT8 HEAVYWEIGHTS is for you, get DX stations in one place to work!!!!!
ALL ARE WELCOMED TO JOIN,
if you are interested to join by yourself or with a few other friends in your country
please feel free to contact me for more details on time and best bands to suit you, at 9Z4Y@gmx.com
I am also asking to please help spread the word to make this year’s FT8 HEAVYWEIGHTS
even bigger and better than last year,
Thank you and see you guys soon
Stay safe, 73
Mark de 9Z4Y
