For something different I have been trying FT4 mode. Have found it not that popular compared to FT8, a pity as it is a nice fast mode for contacts. I have found 10m FT4 about the most popular on 28.180 Mhz, managed to work a lot of USA and JA stations there. After joining the FT4DMC club I managed to qualify for some awards, LDA or Long Distance Awards. A bit of a different award to qualify as it is based on the total Km contacts are away from you, based on their grid squares. USA stations are around 12,000 to 15,000 Km away so added up quickly. First award for 354,759 Km or Triton Award.
Next 384,400 Km or Moon Award
Last 421,800 Km or IO Award
There are others too that have yet to qualify for.
