[NLRS] More 222 & Up contest .....

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

I gathered from that article that FT4 is about twice as fast per QSO as 
FT8 so especially on HF where signals aren't so week that constest 
scores are better with FT4 than FT8. I have not used either digital mode 
on any band.

Anyone have any experience with this to share?
