Re: [Elecraft] [VHFcontesting] Alternate FT8 frequencies on 50 MHz during contests ?
Hi Mike Yes, the idea of frequencies for intercontinental DX seems to have taken off, but not, so far, the idea of a separate frequency for contest mode, which was WB5JJJ's suggestion. 73,Steve VE3SMA On Saturday, July 7, 2018, 7:43:42 a.m. EDT, Michael Walker wrote: Steve It did get traction.

Mark As you may know, WB5JJJ suggested using a separate frequency on 6m for contest mode FT8, and leaving 50.313 for those running normal FT8 format. I tend to think this might work out fairly well, but it didn't gain much traction on the WSJT group where he posted the suggestion.
