"That is FT8. There is no involvement once the contact starts."
That is only true is you choose to make it true. In basic FT8 mode "auto sequence" and "Call 1st" are operator options which I sometimes choose to disable. I also sometimes change my TX frequency in the middle of a QSO if I sense that I may not be being decoded because of QRM. Except for the selection of the initial TX frequency I felt completely out of the loop in DXpedition mode. I'm not saying it's a bad mode. I'm not saying it shouldn't be used. All I'm doing, as an experienced JT65, JT9 and FT8 operator, is commenting on my experience. 73, Andy k3wyc ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
