In a message to this group back in February I wrote: Quoting G4WJS: "For FT8 the net effect is that up to about 5 seconds of a message may be missing yet still be decoded. The amount missing can be either a truncation or parts of the message below the decoding threshold. The FT8 message is structured with sync symbols at the start, middle and end so missing the start or end may have less impact than missing other parts since mostly sync symbols may be lost and they contain no message information."
Hence, I dubbed the mode, "Imaginary" since it hears things that aren't there. Wes N7WS On 7/3/2018 12:36 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote:
Overheard yesterday on 40 meter SSB, in reference to FT8: “Given the level of automation and whatnot, maybe they should call it ‘magic radio’ instead of ‘ham radio’.” New contest category?
