[VHFcontesting] [NEWSVHF] 144.174 FT8 activity

The suggested frequencies for 2m "somewhere between 144.105 and 144.145" would infringe on the 2m EME JT65 activity.

Rick, K1DS

I now have FT8 capability HF through 432.
It's my least preferred mode.
IMO it's a "necessary evil" to have or be left out.
If you operate 6M you know what I mean.
One thing I'd really like to change is 144.174.
Who was responsible for choosing that ?
Way too close to the SSB-CW part of the band.
Disputes already started with a long-time 144.175 SSB Net.
I'd like to start a campaign to move it to 144.165.
That's where it should have been to start with.
Who else agrees? Thoughts?
