New PSK31 operation
This past weekend I got my FT897D set up and made my first PESKY contact to Cuba and then another in the Caribbean. Using Ham Radio Deluxe and DM780 with a little box called an Ascot to connect the computer and radio. Operated at 20 watts and no problems. Also connected with some stations in the NE US. Was on 20 m when it was pretty much dead otherwise.
