IMO, seeing as how this is relatively new, the LotW programmers may need some
time to get FT8 & other modes installed.

FB on the EME QSO!  That's great.

I'm curious why FT8 needs special acknowledgment. There must be 100 different types of digital modulation out there now. Some work better than others depending on conditions. FT8 seems simply the "digital" flavor of the month.

Congrats on the 100th!  That a great accomplishment.


Now to get the LOTW/ARRL in general to update so that FT-8 mode is acknowledged (yes, I know it's listed as digital, like RTTY) and the logging programs etc.  You can't upload an FT8 contact into LOTW at this time.  Maybe sometime this decade?  FT8 is a very slick new mode, it's working very well.

I really enjoyed the presentation you and Rick W6SR gave on Saturday.  When I got home, I downloaded WSJT-X (beta ver.) and was up and running FT8 in no time. I worked many  U.S. stations along with one CN and one SA on 20M using 25w.  I liked the fast pace and there were plenty to log. Great mode for new Hams to get their WAS in a short time.

 

Congrats on your #100 on 6M.
