Hello, FT8 on 160m pales.
WSJT-X operators customarily running FT8 and FT4 on 80m through 10m HF bands are likely disappointed with trials on 160m. As one of those operators I recently ran WSPR on 160m in comparison to working FT8 QSOs on 160m. In NA EST daytime operation at 2220Z WSPR faultlessly listed a -28 dBm decode.
Here I suggest we need an improved decode sensitivity for 160m QSOs, likely needing to be done with a new mode. Granted, the TX and RX times would have to be increased (Shannon-Hartley Theorem). That would require additional operator patience and associated protocols for the extended timing.
