Airplane doppler on 1296 FT-8 tonight. Not uncommon but neat to watch still.

Airplane doppler on 432 FT-8 tonight. Good turnout on 432. Worked 7 stations in 16 minutes tonight, almost as much as a whole contest weekend!

That was some very fine FT8 activity tonight. I made 8 contacts on 2m,
8 contacts on 432(!), and 1 contact on 1296.

On 1296, I'm using what I call my radio wizard staff (an indoor,
homebrew single-element full wave loop held in a window with some
Buddipole parts). I tried to find you on 1296 but could not hear you
with my minimal antenna. I decoded VE7US twice but could not work him.
