I could be wrong, but I thought Joe’s analysis showed that
the Winter FD exchange would not fit into the 77 bit package
that FT8/4 used. Perhaps if WFD changed its exchange to fit
the already available rules, it would work well.
Both Winter and Summer Field Days come from a tradition of
wanting to demonstrate the ability to perform emergency
communications. FT8 and FT4 can send an arbitrary 13 character
messages, so they are marginally useful for emergency
communications, but I would sure hate to have to send a hospital
bed report, or a list of needed supplies.
While I would like to see both field days treated equally, we
currently support Summer Field Day and don't support Winter
Field Day. Perhaps status quo is the best place to be.
