FT 8 RU Contest and the P3

[Elecraft mailing list]

Hi, Just a note on operating in the RU contest. There are stations in groups in a number of places on the band. The P3/PX3 sure comes in handy going between them. Using the markers you can easily mark a group with marker A and tune to them, and go back easily, because you can see the FT8 groups easily.
    Has anyone else come up with any operating tips?    This is the first time, I think, we have experienced the use of different frequencies on the same band.Now we need a MAP65 program that will read the whole band.

We are watching it shake out before our eyes.

6M FT8 operators used (from what I observed) 3 frequencies this past season
for operations, primarily when there were DX openings to JA, EU and NA.
There have been discussions to attempt to standardize the operating
frequencies (see QST “the World Above 50MHz” column) and discussions/spots
on the on4kst 6M chat page. As FT8 grows we’ll see more set gathering
frequencies develop. “Pop-up” groupings during a contest is an interesting
development.Lou, W0FK
