Now that the Sprint events (above 6M, obviously) where FT8 would most probably be used are over, have we come to a consensus on exactly which frequency we're all using for the mode ? I mentioned this
.174 seems to be it in the Northeast and why not keep it consistent across bands. It makes it easy to remember. Dave N2OA _______________________________________________ VHFcontesting mailing list VH
I am rather ambivalent about the exact frequencies so long as I know where the action is likely to be in and around the PNW. It was unclear to me until just before the Sprint what frequency to use. T

The Florida Weak Signal Society recommended FT8 frequencies are .174, on all bands, 2M and higher in frequency. Now my (personal) comments: 144.174 was probably a poor choice. But, it has been in the
I run transverters on the VHF/UHF bands and the ability to keep the HF "IF Rig" on .174 has many benefits. I would like to see .174 continue to be the FT8 standard frequency on 144 MHz and above. 73
The choice of frequency makes little difference to me, either. But, it's had to find guys if every little region has its own 'channel'. If there truly is a consensus on FT8 (and meteor scatter) frequ
I don't care about 432 digital other then the established eme sub band, However I can speak to 222 digi with plenty of actual on the air experience. 222.080 is a 'catch all' frequency. I've run JT65,
Hi Jay. Yes I agree more standardization on Frequencies is probably a good thing. For some reason I had a bit more uncertainty about the 432 FT8 frequency than I did for the 144 and 222 frequencies d

Yes, QRM on the M/S frequencies is occasionally a problem. When I hear another station, coming in via ground wave, I find something else to do. Personal opinion, if you are working a Sked, don't do i
