    It'll be interesting for sure... I think operating frequencies should have been organized in a manner similar to the December 1-2, 2018 Roundup.

    For those unfamiliar with that event, here's how it was handled: https://www.rttycontesting.com/ft8-roundup/preparation/frequencies/

    I personally would like to see Dr. Taylor and Mr. Franke program FT8 so that anything over 10 watts shuts the program down. Then copyright the program so that it cannot legally be changed.

    Using 100 watts with FT8 is like calling a 100 watt radio a QRP rig. It's a crime.

    Not to mention the stations that run legal limit thru a gain antenna.

    FT8 is not necessarily a low power mode, but a weak signal one.

    Yes, 100W on 20M may be excessive most of the time. Not the case on 160 or 80M.
