K3-FT8

[Gene O]

I have not operated FT8 in a long time.  Using WSJT-X. I have all
parameters set up and COM responds OK. Also can get 4+ bars on ALC meter
but it seems no matter how many times I try no contacts made.  Any
suggestions?

Gene, W2BXR

A couple of things to consider:

I assume you are receiving data OK?

Are you in Data A mode?

Is the computer clock accurate?

Sync your TIME on the PC.   Of course this assumes that your PC is
connected to the internet.

Navagate to:

Put your call sign in on the top, and see if anyone is listening and
hearing you...

Go to a band that you are hearing a lot of stations on, and if within
your class of your license, transmit there by calling a CQ.  After a few
minutes, hit "Go" on the map.  That will show you who is hearing you.

I just looked, and in the last 12 hours, you were heard all over the
planet...
