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

Managed to grab 4, K3SXA, W3WMU, K4ARE, and N2MLP. All on a 1/2 wave 160 dipole about 25' off the ground. Randy W4RTT

Boy - it is not my night! First, Bill is N4GBK - not N4MBK. And W3WMU is Jeff - not Stan. My apologies to you both. And I have not had a drop to drink so I can't even blame that...hi hi. Think

No contact with N4MBK but got KD9IWL on 20 and for insurance got KC1BOS on 40. I will be on late morning/early afternoon tomorrow and will post to checker later in the day. 73 Paul nu4c

He faded out .. I see him working KC1BOS so I think he made it! Bill N4GBK Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I'm in the midst of heavy thunderstorms and the band is in and out among static crashes. Did see W4RTT - Randy but lost him before we could complete. Worked N2MPL - Thanks Brian! And saw W3WMU -
