ARLA/CLUSTER: O modo digital FT8, introduzido em 2017, tem uma grande aceitação na comunidade radioamadoristica

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

FT8 digital mode has big uptake

Until now there has been only anecdotal evidence that *FT8*, introduced in
2017, had been adopted by many on our bands. The weak signal text mode has
certainly taken over from the previous JT65, which had been favoured.

It is safe to say that the adoption of FT8 has been phenomenally fast.

The WIA Statistician *Marc VK3OHM*, in analysing the award system data,
says about 20 per cent of all QSOs in 2017 were in the FT8 mode.

The WIA does not issue DXCC on the basis of FT8 mode alone. QSO using FT8
mode would contribute to the "Digital" mode of DXCC.

However, Marc VK3OHM finds there are 7 people who have achieved 100+ DXCC
entities using the FT8 mode only.
