Hey Everyone,

I got my license (General) a few years back and have played around with short wave a bit but wanted to start to get more into the FT8 side of things. Does anyone have a low cost introduction to FT8 or even some good resources to start to learn more about it?

https://www.wt8p.com/setting-up-ft8/ is still pretty up to date. It's what I used to get setup a few years back. Definitely make sure you have something that keeps your system clock "up to date" I use Dimension 4 still.

Awesome, thanks! Any hardware recommendations that won't break the bank?

I just ordered one of these guys but they are really backordered. http://shop.qrp-labs.com/qmx
