I've been on FST4 for all of 5 days now (as of 09Feb) and haven't seen more than 12-15 individual calls print all Stateside excepting VK4TUX. For anyone contemplating the mode the Quick-Start Guide at https://physics.princeton.edu//pulsar/k1jt/FST4_Quick_Start.pdf has lots of good info much more than I understand. Also the WSJT-X User Guide includes FST4. See para. 6.8 at https://physics.princeton.edu//pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx-doc/wsjtx-main-2.3.0.html
At 1400Z +/- Adrian VK4TUX and myself have been testing FST4-300 (300 second T/R) with copy one way only so far. But we'll keep trying. 73 Pres N6SS > Message: 2 > Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2021 17:03:04 -0800 > From: Jim Brown <[email protected]> > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Topband: Testing FST4 on 160m > Message-ID: > <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > On 2/8/2021 4:51 PM, Jim Miller wrote: > > I'd like to find a partner in EU or AS who would sked with me to do some > > FST4 tests on 160. > > And I'll be happy to be QRV from California.
