Ever wondered how digital modes can revolutionize your ham radio experience? From transforming skeptical operators into digital enthusiasts to making rare contacts even in poor band conditions, we'll show you the magic behind FT8, JS8Call, and more. Tune in to hear our personal journeys, technical challenges, and the unique joys of integrating hobbies like fishing with radio adventures.

Join us as we celebrate community highlights, including new merchandise like our "Digital Life" and "I Speak Many Languages" shirts. We also applaud the Flag and Torch Society for their successful testing session, where 52 soldiers participated, leading to several upgrades. Amidst these updates, we share our latest radio escapades, from making contacts on 20 meters to the frustration of technical mishaps during park activations.

Discover the advanced world of WSJTXZ and other digital tools that can elevate your ham radio experience. We'll demystify features like auto modes, Pounce, and Auto Find, and discuss how they can make your operations smoother and more efficient.
