Can this " 'power' and what is QRP" thread go to the Yahoo group??

This is for reports of BUGS or other ISSUES with the software, not how users OPERATE.

FWIW ... FT8 was NEVER a QRP mode, it is a WEAK SIGNAL mode as is the other WSJT-X modes.

From the first page of K1JT's website:

"/WSJT-X, WSJT, MAP65, /and/WSPR /are open-source programs designed for weak-signal digital communication by amateur radio.

All in all: It's evident that some stations are using kW and directional antennas in FT8!
FT8 is NOT A QRP MODE ANY LONGER!
JT9 was the last one which favoured QRP stations and wire antennas.
Beside this, there is a tendency of using high power in certain stations mainly in Southern Europe!

    If there are strong signals, those close ALC and weak signals have
    no chance then. If there is only one, I can use notch on my FT950

    +10dB, so it's difficult to catch some DX sometimes. In some cases
    is possible turn the main knob up or down to cut part of band with
    roofing filter, but some possible split callers are lost then..

    Just say'n-
    Strong propagation can make a low power station decode with a high
    signal report.
    If you retire the strong signals first you will hear the weak
    signals under neigh them.
    Finally, short of checking Hamspots [hopefully the station is
    reporting to H.S.] how is an Op to know what his report is at the FOX?

        I said nothing about running power.  I said strong signal,
        wanting to have a way to only allow display or decode of
        weaker signals, the level of which I determine and set.  This
        is similar to the function available in DXpedition mode.
