[VHFcontesting] FT8 contest frequencies for 144, 222, 432, 1296

[Buddy Morgan]

 A few comments: 
50.313  and 144.174 are pretty well established frequencies - they are already programmed into the software.
Apparently some people agreed on 222.080. I do not know about elsewhere, but around here, there always seem to be concerns about interfering with EME activity, when you operate below the call frequencies. So, we thought that picking frequencies above the call frequency would be better
I looked at 432.500. I thought some people might have antenna BW problems, that high in the band. Hence, we picked 432.174. 
The concrete has not set, yet. Any other thoughts?
