FT8 Upgrade

And there are 3 upcoming events for the newest version of WSJT-X - and the
first one is tonight from 0200 - 0300Z. This is a "mock" contest.

The 2nd one - also a mock test - is this Friday evening (NA time) from
0200-0300Z.

Both of the above test contests will take place on 7078 and 14.078 kHz and
require thus use of either -rc4 or -rc5 although -rc5 is preferred as it i
sexpected to be the final beta version before the finished V2 is released
in mid-December.

These versions allow for the contest exchange used in the RTTY Roundup.

The first actual contest using FT8 exclusively is the FT8 Roundup taking
place this weekend described here:

If you plan to participate be sure to carefully read this link as well:

Re: FT8 Upgrade

John, I am confused with your comment (NA time). What is the UTC date and time of the tests?

Re: FT8 Upgrade

The mock tests, not the contest.

To test this latest, greatest and most updatest version (guaranteed not to
rust, bust or collect dust), a mock two-hour test/contest will take place
this weekend. Specifically, from 0200-0300Z on 1 Dec, which is Friday
evening here in Los Estados Unido
