I tried the beta version of aggregator to put just my ft8 spots on the cluster but

still some things to work through.  I think regional spots on the upper bands is the

way to go.   I’m hoping to add ft8 to my 6m skimmer repertoire. 

 

6 has had openings that barely last an ft8 cycle.  I’m hoping for a repeat of last years

JA opening (even though I didn’t work any of them, it was still exciting).

6m only.  the mode is too fast for normal spotting.  By the time you know someone is on 15, the window may be gone.  

Spotting is useful to let me know the band is open and to what part of the world, but I can click on the band in WSJT-X and within 60 seconds know if its open and who I can hear and work.

Since I normally do not continuously check 6, it would be a heads-up that its open and that would be useful.  Perhaps 10m also????
