[ADXA] question about VHF contest

[Joel Harrison]

This has been a major topic of debate (and complaining) with the popularity of the JT modes on VHF, that there is no easy way to run the bands with someone. A number of proposals have been put forth but so far it’s just been a mess.

That’s OK, I’m making some good contacts, but for the first time, I also have a small setup for 432.  It used to be people would ask on 144.2 if you had 432 and then they would go work there.  How is that handled on FT8?  Is there a separate spotting or messaging app people use, or do they use a free form message on FT8?   I don’t use JT Alert - maybe that’s how they do it.
