With the good conditions on HF, I tried using FT-8 on 17 metres using a Clansman EVHF sleeve dipole. Despite several attempts to contact stations in the Caribbean, no contacts so far, some experimentation with the FT-817 and WSJT-X settings is required to get some RF out of the antenna...
The olive-green antenna is almost invisible as our neighbour had walked past it several times over the week and not noticed it! The combination of the lockdown heatwave and guinea pigs hasn't been good to the lawn...
