Ed, W0YK, and I are thinking of changing our Ten-Meter RTTY Contest,
which normally takes place the first weekend in December, to an all-band
FT8 contest.
If you think it might be done before then, we can certainly wait. Our
thinking is that there may be some operators who would like to use it
for the ARRL RTTY Roundup. An FT8 contest, with ARRL RTTY Roundup rules,
in December could be a way to test the setup before January's contest.
I just wanted to see how it's done.
The remainder of what's needed to complete the Cabrillo log is not a
major task. We can certainly aim to have that done before December 1.
Has there been any discussion as to what frequencies would be good for
FT8 contesting on HF?
Not that I'm aware of. I've assumed that an FT8-only contest might use
the same freqs as normally used for RTTY contests. In a multi-mode
contest such as ARRL RTTY Roundup, maybe FT8 should be somewhere above
the normal range of RTTY activity?
Someone else should weigh in on this topic -- I'm not the best person to
ask.
