FT-8 is a game changer. I've never seen a mode take off like it as long as I've been a ham.

- vvanders 9y agoYeah, while FT-8 is really well put together nothing about it that is really that esoteric. I really wish things like Forward Error Correction and more complex modulation made it down to the VHF bands. The fact that the standard protocol there is 1200bps without FEC and basically stuck in the 80s is really a shame. (Yes I know DSTAR/DMR/C4FM exist but they're largely locked into specific mfgrs).
