Hi, allow me to make a comment (always noisy one) from the floor before going 
to dev teams.


  1.  WSJT-X has actually two distinctive message formats, WSPR (50bits) and 
FT-8 (75bits).
  2.  I have the impression that the proposal from Igor belongs to (two-way) 
WSPR message protocol. (See Appendix B of 
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/WSPR_2.0_User.pdf).
  3.  If WSJT-X maintains the policy to guarantee these multi-different message 
exchanges as “complete QSO” to QSL bodies such as DXCC or regional contest 
bodies, we can enjoy these antithetical demands with one standard.

Igor, am I wrong about my (philosophical) interpretation stated in item 2.?

I'd just leave it to the WSJT-X team, and only the WSJT-X team.

George is quite right!
Leave it to the dev team -and to Igor!
It well worth to test what does JTDX dev team do.

I think he is lamenting the “loss of sensitivity” with FT8 compared to JT65 now 
that the former has come to dominate. Not sure his math works out, so will 
leave that to the dev team. Imagine they are keenly interested in performance, 
too.
