Hi All!
I've been wanting to play with the Olivia mode, but there doesn't seem to be much activity around. If anyone wants to try it, let me know and we can set up a time. My QTH is the FM19 gridsquare (MD, USA) and judging by my FT8 contacts I usually get good propagation to the Midwest, the Gulf Coast (especially Texas for some reason), and sometimes to the Pacific Northwest when using 5-7 watts on 17 and 20 meters. I've had success locally in the Mid-Atlantic using 80 meters as well.
73!

This is awesome, I hope you get some takers. I'm not setup at the moment, otherwise I would definitely do this!
This I want to do, but I'm planning on using 10m (too lazy to take the General exam).
