Hello to all the VHF contesters who ran the June contest. Due to all the hype concerning FT8, we decided this year to add a completely independent 6M station just to monitor FT8.  The station has a 6

As a Single Op, my observation is in line with Marshall's. I ran an SO2R set up on 6 meters with one radio dedicated to FT-8 on 50.313. 73 Joel W5ZN _______________________________________________ VH

I took another run at rover operations with WSJT-x this contest (ie. I had to set my call to "VE7AFZ/R".) As I suspect many are aware the FT8 messages can be a bit different when a station appends "/

I used FT8 on 6m during the contest. Yes, there were issues and we can work on them but I thought it actually worked pretty well considering that its new technology. FT8 was introduced, what, about a

My experience with FT8 during the contest mirrored Marshall's. I also support his recommendations. In particular, I would prefer the NA contest mode to be the full-time default condition for the WSJT

I thought it was a lot better than in previous contests. Sure there were some folks not using the contest mode, but I'm just glad they are there at all and I'll switch modes and work them. I can't ge

Hi Alex, If your looking at a software change, here's one to add. In contest mode, have WSJT-X reference the station log for the contest so dupes don't even show as a CQing station. Only stations tha

It is in the software. It will check for ft8 dupes, but it doesn't access your ssb/cw qs in another program. _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VHFcontesting@c

I guess I should clarify my SO2R Single Op comment. Obviously in a VHF contest we are somewhat forced to use more than one radio to cover multiple bands. I used 2 radios specifically dedicated to 6 m

WSJTX has a network protocol that you can use to interface other programs with it. When WSJTX decodes a message, it sends its own message over the network which your logger can use to see if the con

I'm very new to VHF Contesting. I discovered NA Contest mode via Marshall's article the day before the contest by Googling, "how to do VHF contesting with FT8." I ran a very relaxed effort (dipole in

Keep in mind that if you are running 100 W and you are copying 1500 W stations at -15 dB, there is little chance that you can work them since they have ~10 dB more power. That was probably why K5QE c

I think the problem with the whole "QSY 2" thing on FT8 is the other guy (probably not an experienced contest op) doesn't know if you mean QSY to 2 using FT8 on some frequency he's not savvy to, or Q

Re QSY'ng... On Sunday I stated sending "AFZ/R QSY.125" when I switched from FT8 to analog. To keep things legal I subsequently sent my full call. I seemed like a good idea at the time (: 73 Mark S V
