FT4

Although release candidate versions of WSJT-X have been released including FT4, I think I shall now wait for the fully released version before installing. FT4 sounds like a useful Es mode with its shorter periods. It is not quite as sensitive, but with Es signals are often strong even with QRP.

Have been active with FT4 (see my blog). Didn't see much activity, only on 20m. Did make some DX. But till now everyone is waiting I think....73, Bas

Apparently the latest release candidate (rc6) has been pulled as it was full of bugs. I am probably going to wait for a formal release.
