[Elecraft] K3 Power-hunting on FT8

[Andy Durbin]

"Clean FT8 spectra is badly needed, especially in metro areas at 10 meters and above, where many poor quality FT8 signals abound and wipe out many of the weaker stations that other stations are trying to receive. Yes, there are suggestions that folks in the same area all transmit at the same time, and many people try it, but in practice, not everyone is on-board with that suggestion."

It is my belief that many of the wide FT8 signals seen on 6 m FT8 are caused by Doppler shifted aircraft reflections.  It's very common here in the Phoenix metro area and does not imply that the transmitted signal was in any way abnormal.
