The downside would be that nobody else could find you. I look at the list being
just like putting pre sets on my car radio, just a fast way to get where the
action is.Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

<[email protected]> Subject: [wsjt-devel] Is it Heresy to QSY Without Adding a
Frequency to the List I remember back a year ago when we did tests of
DXpedition mode, I entered the DXpedition frequency into the list for the
software. I think it was 14090 KHZ,Since then DXpeditions have done their
operating on frequencies all over the digital subbands,and I got tired of
adding their frequency to the list each time. One time I decided to spin my
dialto the frequency without entering it to the list. The DXpedition mode
worked great - it did all theQSYing within the audio spectrum to make the DX
QSO, and the frequency logged just fine. I havebeen spinning the dial without
frequency entry ever since.Fast forward to this month for Field Day where I am
heading up the FT8 For Field Day group in Facebook. We have a separate list of
frequencies to use, so that we don't disrupt normal FT8 activity.Many of our
members are busy entering these frequencies to their list. My opinion is that
they do notneed to do this. Am I wrong, and am I leading them astray? What
is the down-side of operating on a frequency that is not on the list?Thanks &
