[ILQSO] FT8 questions

[Don Pitchford]

 Danny, and others,It is possible to set the counties in the free text screens, and manually send them in order. It works. When FT-8 first came about I tried some free-text stuff with another ham. It's pretty painful. More importantly, everyone in the contest would need to be doing it the same, or it will lead to a bunch of broken contacts. That's my biggest complaint about FT-8; most hams just use it as-is and don't create ways to make it more useful. I'll boot up the computer tonight and see if I can come up with a reasonable suggestion for formatting the free text screens that might make it usable for ILQP.Don, W9EBK

 There have been a few questions asked about using FT8 for the ILQSO Party. I
know it is not friendly to non-standard reports but has someone taken the
time to see if it is possible to make FT8 work for the possibly lengthy
multi-county exchanges?
