There have been several posts about operating FT8 on 222.174. That is in the
repeater portion of the band. We have repeater inputs centered on 222.160 and
222.180. FT8 activity on 222.174 is likely to cause interference to repeaters
in many areas.73, Wayne, N6NB Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.

[VHFcontesting] W4NH Contest Plans Tried to post this earlier today but it must
have failed.. so trying again > The W4NH Fourlanders VHF-UHF-SHF-Micro contest
group will again be on theair for the ARRL June VHF contest. For this June
contest the W4NH contesters will be operating from oursecondary contesting
location in Grid EM84 north of Dahlonega, GA. We have the usual stacked
antenna arrays in the air again and equipmentready to operate SSB, CW, FT8,
MSK144, JT65, etc. on the 50-144-222-432-1296MHz bands . Kilowatt amplifiers on
the 4 lower bands provide QRO power. And.with all the heavy discussion at the
recent VHF Super Conference aboutFT8, more activity on the higher bands during
contests, etc. we want tobegin attempting FT8 QSO's on something other than
just 50.313 MHz !! In that light we will looking for random or scheduled FT8
contacts on thehigher bands. Following the lead of the FLWSS we will be using
144.174,222.174, 432.174, and even 1296.174 for FT8 operations. We now have
EME capability on the 144-222-432 bands so plan to "be on themoon" during our
moon windows. We will be watching the Region 2 ON4KST 144, 222, 432 chat rooms
and N0UK(Ping Jockey) for schedules and spots. So if you want to schedule
something(FT8, traditional SSB/CW, or EME) on these higher bands, look for us
onthese loggers. So..get on the air and make some VHF and UHF noise in our
direction thisweekend. We look forward to having you in our logs. RonWW8RRW4NH
432 MHz Band Captain
