George,
You've pretty much staked out 7056+ for SFH. If you're on CW you won't be using that for FT8, why not use it for CW?
On another note, I would like to get you on 80 and 160 FT8 to fill out my Bingo card. I'm sure I'm not alone. But I keep rolling out of bed at 2AM to check 160 only to find that I missed you on 80 at 1AM. Could you give us a schedule of some kind for these bands? (I need to manually retune my one antenna and I'm not about to go out to the cactus patch in the dark and disturb the rattlesnakes at their mealtime)
Thanks, keep up the good work.

Steve,
40 m has been a problem at N5J. Often we have S9+20 dB over-the-horizon
radar signal blanketing from 6.95 to 7.050 for hours at a time. We are
considering operating at 7050, but that is very close to the FT8
frequencies. We hope to find a break in the QRM to work NA.
GL and 73,
