[TVARC] FD FT8 QRGs

[Rich Erlichman]

What? No FT4?

Of course calling "CQ FD" would be a good sign for stations hearing you,
that you are looking for FD contacts; and if in S&P mode, calling a station
that is putting out a "CQ FD" can  pretty much assure one of logging a valid
FD contact.

I suspect the post is implying that FD stations won't get the required
exchange if they use the standard frequencies.  Good idea to separate them.
Hopefully FD FT8 operators will be aware of the new locations.

>From the contesting group on FB:

"The suggested FT8 frequencies for Field Day will be: 

1840 3580 7080 14080 21080 28080 50318 144174. The reason for separate
frequencies is to not disrupt the normal DXing and QSOs on the standard
frequencies. There will be some FD stations on the standard freqs, and go
ahead and work them there. You will not be able to work non FD mode
stations."

 

Not sure what the post means by "You will not be able to work non FD mode
stations" so here is the link if anyone is interested:
