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 software, for quite 
a while. It is well established. Nothing can be done, at this late date.
222.174 seems to be a repeater frequency, in California. Other than that, it is 
an excellent choice. It is out of everybody's way. 
432.174 is in a little used part of the band - just perfect. Same goes for 
1296.174. 
To the best of my knowledge, there has never been an 902 MHz FT8 QSO, in the 
state of Florida. I am shooting for one, in the microwave Sprint. Let's go with 
902.174. 
2304.174 was recently used for a FT8 contact. I have plans to make a 5760 
contact, in the near future.
