I’m only sporadically in the contest this time around so I have no idea how 6m
has been all weekend, I just noticed the opening and see most folks still on
FT8 while FT4 could be so much more effective if more folks would adopt it.
It’s a lot more like the old RTTY, a mode that I always liked, too. Even if
folks would spread out a little more on FT8 than just the 3kHz at 313 it would
be an improvement.
Yes, good luck to everyone!

Funny, Wish we had that problem here. Band has been dead for me all weekend so
far.
Good luck everyone.

Hi there,
When 6m is open like it is now, please try FT4. The 3dB loss in signal strength
does not measure up to your signal being buried by everyone else wo is also
staying on FT8.
Of course, if you’re really daring, you can try SSB or CW. 😊
