I too feel the frustration with FT-8 "taking over" what had been "our" segment of 17m. But I doubt posting our concerns here will do much to change that. May I suggest those of us who feel this is

He did it! On 10/8 NU4C - Paul - completed his 366. He is only the 21st person of 2570+ members to do so. Congratulations Paul. Well done! Paul had previously completed the 24/7 endorsement.

Yup ! Same thing I've been finding almost daily. Jerry N9AVY

My curiosity got the best of me ....After reading some of the original posts on 17m earlier today I went to 18.100 and sent out cq's in psk31 for about 20 minutes starting at about 21:00 zulu ..... I

Methinks the well-respected developer of FT8 wither a a brain fart , didn't care or is getting senile. He owes an apology to PSK31 operators everywhere ! If we didn't need band plans and everyone

He picked the anchor frequencies – or at least coded them into the software. Moving down to the PSK bands won’t go well for them. Mike WM4B Sent: Sunday, October 8, 2017 6:42 PM To:

If I’d have received an email like that, I’d have politely (maybe) reminded the individual that the frequency had previously been occupied by another mode and that they didn’t get to decide what

I didn’t want to open up that can or worms but since it has been cracked.....so I follow the WSJTX yahoo group. There was a thread today about needing to expand the FT8 band because it’s so

I've begun to work on the contest certificates for 2017 today. So there's that, and I think it's good news. Now for the shocking thing (at least to me)..... I just found a stack of *2015*

Well fellows, this seems to be a problem on many bands now. The FT8 group seems to have chosen frequencies without regard for other users and since it seems to be the hot thing now FT8 users are

I tried FT8, didn't like it. The frequency programmed into software for 17 meters is 18.100, go figure?? KI4VMK 2542 On Oct 8, 2017, at 3:48 PM, "'Mike Besemer' mwbesemer@... [070]" <070@...> wrote:

Or just run RTTY CQ on 18.100 . That frequency is usually inhabited by RTTY when band is open. So whose fault was it those FT8 stations are all on 18.000 ... thought I read somewhere that it was

Love it. Since I have a Cobweb Antenna let’s be careful with the spray. I don’t want to kill mine. Steve VA3FLF 2301 Sent from my iPhone

My suggestion is to CQ right +1500 up from the 17m frequency as they "invaded" a known frequency. We'll just have to learn to coexist. 73 Matt King AK4MK - 070 #1708 PODXS 070 Club Executive

Wondering what has happened to 17m PSK31 now that it's been infested with FT-8 signals ??? Have PSK31 found a new spot on 17m or is there something we can spray on our antennas to rid us of FT8

Found IW2 and 7X3WPL, Algeria, Sahara DX Radio Club (Driss, 7X3DL Op.) Strong into IN See M0WAY calling now. Go get 'em, 73, Stan W9SMR/9

Open again Sunday. Worked SP7 and F4 so far. Heard SV7 but QSB bad. Call CQ...it's like a box of Chocolates! 73, Stan W9SMR/9 #1611
