FT8 is a digital mode designed for weak signal communication, primarily used in amateur radio. It allows operators to make contacts under challenging conditions, such as low power or poor propagation.

Equipment Needed

• Transceiver: A ham radio transceiver capable of operating on HF bands.

• Computer: A PC or laptop to run the FT8 software.
