Hi Joe, Hi others, When contest modes were taken in use, WSJT-X ( and clones ) got quite fast attention and adaptation for Nordic Activity Contests ( NAC ).
I been contesting in 10m, 6m, 2m and 70cm contests on FT8 mode for years now. There is also traffic on 4m FT8, also 23cm and higher. Mode is EU VHF Contest from 10m band. Countries participating to NAC, are numerous: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Faroe island, Estonia, then Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Germany, Italy, other European countries what is not mentioned. There are several contests in every month over the year. NAC in different bands happen every month. Been several years since I message to Joe about contesting and one follow up as it got so popular in Nordic countries. I seen EU VHF Contest excellent thing. CW and SSB operators may disagree...
