Great - we have yet another data mode.  There is no single data mode that is
"best" in all respects.  It's always a compromise between time, signal rate,
bandwidth and number of discrete channels or tones - the potential combinations
are limitless.

What all data modes (including RTTY) have in common is that they require
machine decoding.  It seems to me that ham-radio contesters do their own
decoding, whether it's CW or Phone.  Everything else is data processing and,
increasingly, fully-automated data processing.

Let's leave data modes to the Data-Processing-over-RF apps.

To:   Users of WSJT-X -- especially those interested in radio contesting
From: WSJT Development Group

As you know, we have been developing a protocol called FT4 for use in radio contesting.  A new version of FT4 is now available for testing in WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc6.

PLEASE NOTE THAT FT4 IN RELEASE CANDIDATE 6 IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THAT IN ANY PREVIOUS RELEASE.

Therefore: Please stop using WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc5.  If you wish to use FT4 after today or to take advantage of other recent program corrections or enhancements, you should use WSJT-X 2.1.0-rc6.
