Mini-FAQ
- Are these absolute performance charts? — No. They’re indicative FT8 spot maps from today’s tests with a TermiLoop. Your installation and conditions will differ.
- What power was used? — Typical FT8 drive levels for clean TX; keep ALC minimal and ensure your RF chain is linear.
- Why do my results differ? — Noise floor, antenna height/orientation, ground, propagation, and local QRM all shift outcomes.
