FT4 MODE,?? MENY QSOS IN LOG

---

EC7AT Joaquin Berenguel

Same reply as usual........

FT4 will be added as soon as a new ADIF version is released
In the meantime.....wait

Why is there no support for the DATA tag as a workaround?

I know that DATA is not "standard" either, but both LOTW and Clublog seem to support it.

I have already received an SWL report that fudged FT8 as the mode. This will lead to trouble.

There are going to be thousands of QSOs in this new mode in no tme. This is not like other experiments where there were few QSOs before acceptance by ADIF.

I would urge the eQSL team to come up with a better alternative than "wait". Nobody else of consequence seems to be waiting.

I can see not supporting the tag, FT4, itself yet. For all we know, it may still be dropped or have its name changed. But, the QSOs will be coming by the thousands whatever its eventual fate. DATA seems like the way around it.

DATA ? Why not , as in LOTW..
I already advised N5UP and the AB group that this is becoming a problem, I have a few dozens QSO's myself
At the moment, the ADIF group is still discussing wether it will be a standalone mode, or a submode for FSK or MFSK, maybe it's name will be changed....????

Since JT65, there is a constant neverending technological forward flight..., I'm afraid that the ADIF developpers Group can't react at once.

I re-post your comment to the Advisory Board group. Sorry, I can't do more.
