I’m really hoping that the Dev Team chooses NOT to make a Field Day (or any HF
contest) variant for FT8. Too many variations in formats, exchanges, and such
will lead to bloatware and confusion.
Since FD, in particular, is a training event, maybe we shouldn’t encourage
semi-automated contacts.
Just my two cents.
