Some Initial Thoughts on FT-8

 -- This is really interesting technology.  Three cheers for Joe Taylor and colleagues.  This mode would obviously be very useful for fast, weak signal contacts as are needed on meteor scatter or EME. -- FT-8 does give you the chance to work DX that would have been difficult on other modes. -- Chinese hams showing up on FT-8 -- more than other modes. -- I think FT-8 is good
for hams who just want
