Re: 2018 ARRL Grid Chase
Jerry, I don't agree. I do not think all operators are interested in conversations. I'm one of them. I love FT8 because they are short. I think RTTY is typically short as well and I don't see that one

Re: 2018 ARRL Grid Chase
I don't think FT8 is a good contest mode. A good CW op can do 4 QSOs per minute during a contest; FT8 is about 90 seconds per QSO. Even RTTY is faster than FT8.
Yes, the other JT modes are very slow,

Re: 2018 ARRL Grid Chase
Okay ... so what speed is FT-8... most CW ops are send at 30-40 wpm. Is FT-8 that fast ??? Also, what is band- width of FT-8 signal as compared to a CW signal ???
Just curious ...

Here is my prediction.
Given the level of automation in the current FT-8 version, its superior performance on very weak signals, and the minimalist exchange, I think FT-8 or its future evolution's

Re: 2018 ARRL Grid Chase
One thing going for FT8 is the terrible band conditions.
I suspect that as conditions start improving over the next 3 years (hopefully ) that it will lose its luster. Besides, by then everyone will

Re: 2018 ARRL Grid Chase
My predictions are seldom accurate, but maybe this one will come to pass.
I suspect that FT-8 will self-destruct in a year or two because many will tire of contacts with little information. People

Anyone else read the specifications on this? FT8 is going to be absolutely dominating every band when this mess starts. It will be a year long FT8
