FT Roundup: 1800Z, Dec 2 to 2359Z, Dec 3 2023  (Noon Sat ~ 6pm Sun)

Objective: Amateurs worldwide contact and exchange QSO information with other amateurs using FT4 or FT8 on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 meter bands. Any station may work any other station. Stations may be worked once per band regardless of mode (FT4 or FT8).

FT4 recommended sub-bands:
3.580-3.589
7.080-7.089
14.080-14.089
21.080-21.089
28.080-28.089

Set the radio dial at the bottom of the sub-band and work stations on audio frequencies within the radio passband, typically 2.5-4 kHz wide. If a sub-band becomes crowded, move the radio dial frequency up in 3 kHz increments, as needed. (For example: 7.080, 7.083, and 7.086)

*** Please note that 14.080 Mhz is the standard “everday” FT4 20-meter frequency. In order to avoid confusion with non-contest stations, it may be better to use 14.083 Mhz.

FT8 recommended sub-bands:
3.590-3.599
7.090-7.099
14.090-14.099
21.090-21.099
28.090-28.099

Set the radio dial at the bottom of the sub-band and work stations on audio frequencies within the radio passband typically 2.5-4 kHz wide. If a sub-band becomes crowded, move the radio dial frequency up in 3 kHz increments, as needed. (For example: 7,090, 7.093, and 7.096)
