I did this year's unique Field Day using CW and FT4/FT8.  It was like
operating SS except the exchange is shorter.  As expected, the FT4/FT8
windows were wall-to-wall with signals.  I used the amp in both modes so
I could do runs.  I had good rates with FT4 - WHEN the program was
running.  Apparently, a bug in the N1MM+/WSJT-X integration caused the
program to crash after ~15 minutes of running FT4, requiring a reboot. 
There may be a simple fix as one of the developers suggested changing the
decode speed to fast.  This seemed to work for 30+ minutes before I shut
down.

Hope everyone had fun.  With the altered rules for this year, the club
should have quite a few entries for the final score.
