There was a good turnout and once again Rakesh brought his recalcitrant FT-950 that wouldn’t do FT8, but this time we beat it into submissions! The issued turned out to be the laptop, on which the audio controls showed a line in and out which obviously we used, but when we dug much deeper it turned out that the external USB audio dongle was identified as mic and speaker. Once we selected those it burst into life and in no time we had a QSO with Spain and were heard in Australia (grey line time again).
There remains an issue relating to sidebands below 10m because the radio automatically selects LSB when we want USB for data, but one thing at a time.
