[VHFcontesting] 2 and 6 digital modes

[Keith Morehouse]

FT8 for tropo/Es & MSK144 for meteor scatter - either band.

FT8 on 50.313 and 144.pickafreq
MSK144 on 50.260 and 144.150

WSJT-X, because it's the only one that does either of these modes.

Don't be trapped into using digital modes exclusively...
