The reason PSK reporter is so one-sided to FT8 is that the WSJT software 
AUTOMATICALLY sends the spot to PSK Reporter. If you are on CW or SSB, you 
have to MANUALLY enter your spot on PSK Reporter. Don’t draw too many 
conclusions from the PSK graphs, they are substantially FT8 reports. 
However, they sure do give you an indication what bands are open and in what 
direction; but be advised that many FT8 operators forget to change the band 
selection on WSJT-X when they change bands. This results in erroneous band 
reporting on PSK but still a good indicator of band conditions.
