This would be a big help to have callsigns color coded, would it also be possible to code in filters where some messages are not shown such as other on going qso`s that are not necessary to view and even stations that have been worked B4. This would de-clutter busy screens that have so many

OK guys, at the risk of sounding like a cracked record or a corrupted MP3, I’ll give this one more shot. Anecdotal reports tell us very little except in your opinions “The FT8 segment looks crowded”. I agree, that is how it LOOKS. It LOOKS crowded here too … and yet we are still making

How do you know we're running power? I run gain antennas including a 3 element beam at height on 30 meters. I get complaints from some that I am running excessive power. (I run 50 watts except on 80/160 and 6m where I will run up to 1500W) Should I just run a G5RV so as not to bend the needle

One of my friends has reported something similar - decodes stop for no reason and start back at random. He doesn't use a Raspberry Pi. He uses a recent 27" iMac and runs Windows in a Parallels instance. The rig is a Flex-6300 and uses the COM port for CAT control (via SmartSDR CAT). CPU usage

I would concede that in Europe it is a problem. My antennas are beamed to Europe most of the time but there aren't many strong band openings these days. I have also heard grumbling among the PSK31 and Olivia crowd that FT8 is interfering with them. They can move but when we move it may cause

The digital mode watering holes are not (as far as I know in most cases) part of any international agreement or national regulation. If a group of operators want to agree amongst themselves to operate on a particular spot, it is incumbent on them to avoid interference with existing operations

It's only you Ria! All FT8 subbands are much too crowded, even in the WARC bands. We badly need the higher bands like 21, 24 and 28 MHz but it takes several years when there will be regular openings on those bands. I am terribly surprised when you are living in the USA where there are ARRL, IARU

I don't think there needs to really be more room. There are several bands that we can use. I prefer to use WARC bands because I have my fill of DX on 20 meters but WARC bands offer additional opportunities. Especially 30 meters where I have gain antennas. 73 Ria, N2RJ On Fri, Mar 23, 2018 at

Hi, I would like to add something to the discussion. At my location (JN25UE) at maximum propagation ( near noon) , the FT8 band's noise floor on the 30M is 5db higher than on the rest of the 30M band. The concentration of traffic on the narrow 2.5khz (certainly at excessive power) causes a
