Is FT8 a Game Now? FT8 Battle Night Brings PvP Energy to Ham Radio

Tonight on Live Free and Ham, we’re going all-in on FT8 Battle—the gamified FT8 platform that turns everyday digital-mode contacts into a competitive, scoreboard-driven challenge. We talk what makes FT8 Battle Night so addictive, how the “battle” format motivates more QSOs, and why gamification is bringing new energy to FT8 operating and community participation. Plus, we hit quick community updates (Discord, AllStar, Shack Roast) and read a few Winlink Wednesday check-ins to keep the weekly rhythm rolling.FT8 Battle - https://ft8battle.comDudes Discord - https://discord.gg/sQPNA8AuAv************************************Support the show:Buy Us a Beer: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lfhpodcastPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/LiveFreeandHamPodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093543540309Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/livefreeandham/************* Feedback and Questions!You can always leave us feedback on our voicemail line at 978-233-1142Affiliate:Live Free and Ham - 10% off all LFH Swag CODE: LFH10Reliance Antennas - 10% off and free shipping at https://www.relianceantennas.com/ CODE: LIVEFREEANDHAMHalibut Electronics - 10% discount on all purchases https://electronics.halibut.com/ of $25 or more, limited to three uses per listener.
