LB0QJ — FT8 activity observed at SO8OO

DXCC entity inferred from callsign: Norway Most frequent locator attributed to this token: KP29

Receiver-side FT8 activity involving LB0QJ, decoded by SO8OO in southeastern Poland. 60 FT8 messages attributed to this token as transmitter, on 80m, 20m, across 3 UTC dates in the available aggregate history. Observed between 2026-06-20 and 2026-08-11.

These are automated observations at the SO8OO receiver, not an official contact log. Times are UTC. Attribution follows decoded FT8 message structure: CQ uses the first token and directed-looking messages use the second. Free text that resembles a directed message can be attributed imperfectly. Summary S/N reflects propagation plus SO8OO receiver, antenna and local-noise conditions. Counts are not adjusted for monitoring outages; transmissions that were not decoded are absent. Inferred entity and location data may be inaccurate for portable, remote or special-event operation.

SO8OO decoded 60 FT8 messages attributed to LB0QJ as the transmitting token by decoded message structure across 3 UTC dates in the available aggregate history. The largest monitored-band total was 20 m (75%), followed by 80 m (25%). Several six-hour UTC windows tied for the largest share (75%), so no unique busiest interval is claimed. Received S/N was mixed across SO8OO's weak, moderate and strong ranges; the estimated median was -8 dB.

SO8OO display ranges among successful decodes: weak (≤ -16 dB) 8, moderate (-15 to -9 dB) 18, strong (≥ -8 dB) 34.

WSJT-X defines S/N reports against a 2,500 Hz reference noise bandwidth. The ranges above are SO8OO receiver-side display categories, not official WSJT-X classes, transmitter-power measurements or estimates of how easy the station is to hear elsewhere. Statistics include only successful decodes on SO8OO's monitored FT8 channels; transmissions that were not decoded are absent.
