[CQ-Contest] FT4 *is* a contesting mode.

[Dave Hachadorian]

I suggest that discussions like this be moved over to the rttydigital 
reflector  https://groups.io/g/rttydigital

In November of 2018, folks on the rtty Reflector got tired of seeing 
postings about FT8 and FT4.  The rttydigital Reflector was formed at that 
time for discussions of ALL digital modes.  There are a lot of contesters on 
that reflector.

An idea came to my mind yesterday; What about making a new mail-group
called  "FT8/4/? competiton".
Then this Contest mail-group will concentrate on HF Contesting using radio
and human beings.

Just a dream - or could it be real ?
