How many countries have you worked in this mode?
I just read a blog and some guy worked 100 countries with JT-65A. I have only used it a few times, but after reading about it I may have to use it more. |

My log shows a total of 65 QSOs using the JT65-HF mode. DX entitiy count is 17. WAS confirmed count is 26.
When the bands are dead as a road kill armadillo JT65 will still have you making QSOs. Getting DXCC with just JT65 would be an interesting challenge. Myself I look at it as just another item for the toolbox. Just so you know, the mode is not used by the rare entities on DXpeditions. You still have to work it the old fashioned way. Phone, CW, and RTTY. However JT65 does have the ability for you to go hit the head and grab another beer and still not miss a thing in the 1:50 before you have to send your next transmission. |
