[VHFcontesting] FT8 vs FT4

[Buddy Morgan]

 I made a few FT4 contacts.  There were times that 50.313 looked like 20M. The FT4 frequency was much less crowded. I made one contact on 50.323 - the alternate 6M FT8 frequency. When the waterfall is one mass of red, you would think that people would look elsewhere?
