Re: [wsjt-devel] FT8 Support for Winter Field Day
There is a simple way to accomodate FT8. Have WFD adopt the class letters H (Home), I (Inside), and F (Field). It is Winter Field Day after all. This would fit into the current WSJT-X programming.

Unfortunately, the class letters in WFD are H (Home), I (Inside), and O (Outside). Is there any way an accommodation could be made for WFD, and extend the letter range from A thru O? Since O is the 15th letter in the alphabet, this would only require 1 extra bit, if it is available.
