FT8 with my QMX and an Android phone

A few months back I build a mid-band QMX. I've not had the opportunity to play with it much, but that changed a few days ago. By brother, who is also an Amateur Radio operator, and about as active on the bands as me, was operating FT8 portable. I was 880km from home and had some time on my hands. So, I put up a long wire tuned in 20m, connected my phone to the QMX and opened the FT8CN app. After some minor configuration changes we were up and running. There were a few contact into VK2, (so I knew we were getting out) and then I could see VK6BI/P (my brother) in the RX window. after several attempts we managed a two way contact. This was a first on the HF bands using FT8.  4 or 5 watts was all that was needed.  

This was a bit of fun, so I must do it again sometime soon.
