OK Gary,

  You've got the job. :-) When will the report be ready. Then what's next? It 
doesn't take a rocket scientist to see where the number of FT8 users is 
going....UP, UP, UP!!!    FT8 use will continue to expand and with it, the need 
for additional frequencies. Although it appears that you have doubts, I have no 
doubt that more frequencies will soon, if not already, be needed on some bands.


73,

Rich - K1HTV

[wsjt-devel] New FT8 Frequencies?

A ‘separate small group’ wasn’t exactly my proposal, Take: I simply suggested 
that rather than simplyassumingorassertingthat there is an issue with 
overcrowding and pushing for something to be done, we should take a more 
scientific approach. 

What would help address the claim(hypothesis)that the HF FT8 allocations are 
“overcrowded”?   

For example, we could systematically collect, collate and analyze our ALL.TXT 
files for things such as:

* How many stations are using FT8 on each of the HF bands
* The proportion of FT8 overs that are repeats of previous overs, suggesting 
communications failures due to factors such as QRM, QRN, QSB etc.
* Trends i.e. how these factors vary over time
