David, Check that your computer’s clock is accurate down to a second. FT8 doesn’t work if the time is off. ---

Thank you, Denis. I’m good with the computer’s clock. ![](https://forum.digirig.net/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b61068b19aa5ba5e1444ae680eeb83a1a2e492d8.png) ---

I got FT8 working today. It took a while, but I was able to get completed contacts. I was surprised that it prefers CAT to RTS. 8/n/1. I live in a very compromised environment. The townhouse wall is on one side of the vertical. The trees on the other side won’t bother the signals, but the building will not do me any favors. But, all is working. ---
