[TVARC] FT8 during ARRL Field Day

[George Briggs]

Perhaps.We will have to decide whether we want a GOTA-like station available the whole time.
For those of you new to Field Day, the GOTA station (Get On The Air) is intended forhams who are new to ham radio or who have never made a contact on the HF bands.It is very low stress, low pressure, and there will be an experienced ham helping thenewbie.  It gives you an opportunity to gain some on-the-air experience.

Maybe splitting time between the FT8 station (which requires much less power) and GOTA?

Subject: [TVARC] FT8 during ARRL Field Day  At last night's meeting I said I would find out if we could use FT8 during Field Day.The answer is yes!  All digital modes are allowed.All we have to do is figure out how to send and receive the Field Day exchange,which is category and section.  OK all you FT8ers, how we gonna do that?  73,George K2DM
