Dear Michel, SWL on FT8 is no SWL ... SWL is designed to listen to and decode my signal, not a computer to listen and just copy data from a computer ... when you listen to my QSO with an amateur radio station on the CW and send data for SWL QSL I will be very happy to answer even with a paper QSL card ... 73 E77D Darko
So i don't know how Darco decode his FT8 Signals without a PC and made a qso.
73 to all SWL's who use a computer to decode digital signals.

I also have received a couple ft8 reports from swl's over the past month.
I respond to all reports including swl reports as I was a swl for many years 70's and 80's.

Thank you William for your opinion. My wish is that all Hams would react like this. For a SWL that is also a nice hobby and we do not always know the reason why they are not or do not want to be a HAM 73 Michel
