Thanks to all who took the time to suggested a different category for me on FD but I was 1B - battery operating in my backyard with the KX-2 running 5 watts and not using my regular station in the basement. The antenna for the day (end-fed 40-20-10) was set up on the Saturday and the only AC power was used to power the logging computer although I could get around that too if I was so inclined. I even drove in a new ground rod. Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough.
Several requests about how I got WSJT-X, JT-Alerts, and N1MM working with the KX-2 I’ve answered directly but essentially whenever I have software issues I just reinstall everything and follow online videos or posts about what to switch on and what to switch off. Generally this works fine sooner or later. (Can’t wait to try setting up RTTY on my Flex 6600!)
BTW I’ve decided that the best way to contest using a weak-signal mode like FT-8 is to run at least a 100 watts into a big antenna at the proper height. A kilowatt would ensure success.
