@HopelessDemigod Yes, you were right!
It's also nice to see so many people on #6m #FT4. FT4 reminds me of RTTY and find the rhythm much more enjoyable.During a good opening like this one you don't need the 3dB advantage that FT8 has over FT4.

📢 News-Update für die DARC-Remotestationen! 🌐📻
Pünktlich zur #HamRadio2026 hat der #DARC die Trx-Server-Version 6.1.33.168 auf allen Remotestationen eingespielt.
Es gibt ein neues Feature im Mode OP: Per Doppelklick (links) auf den Wert in der Anzeige könnt ihr die Ansicht jetzt flexibel umschalten zwischen:
📉 SWR (Stehwellenverhältnis)
📊 ALC (Automatic Level Control) – besonders wichtig für #FT8 / #FT4 via #WSJTX, um Übersteuerungen zu vermeiden!
⚡ ID (Drain-Strom der Endstufen-MOSFET)
Perfekt, um die Aussteuerung der Sendeendstufe noch besser im Blick zu behalten. 📡💻

Looks like WSJT-X 3.0.0 has been released!
(thanks to @VE2UWY for bring it to my attention!)

Well, here's a first. Just got a contact with T31TTT on 15m/FT4 without fighting through a pileup. This is a DXpedition on Kanton Island way out in the Pacific, NE of Australia. Band conditions were crap too.
Did you know NASA Ground Control will be tracking Artemis II via the digital mode FT-4 once they go into earth orbit!
The weak signal condition digital protocol makes it perfect for this purpose.
FT-4 cycle time of 6 seconds is less than FT-8s 15. Combined with the approx. 2.5 second round trip time each transmission will take approx. 8.5 seconds.
That's pretty amazing for Amateur Radio!!
