I did some quick checking and FT8 has made it to the official "proposals" phase of the ADIF.org council.

Since eQSL and LotW only accept what is in the "official" ADIF specification list it will not be added until the ADIF.org council approves it. HOWEVER, the good news is, that it appears to have been fast tracked to the proposals phase and while it may take a few more weeks to get it through and approved I think it will be "official" very soon. ~Here's hoping with fingers crossed.~

Digital » FSQ shows as bad mode Jul 12, 2017 11:26 PM (Total replies: 2)

FT8 has made it to the official "proposals" phase of the ADIF.org council. May be a bit yet while they comment then implement it but it looks like it is on it's way.

FT8 I think is here to stay based on the amount of activity I have witnessed over last 2 days alone makes it hard to believe it will not remain a viable and very active mode for a long time. I surely hope eQSL allows the FT8 mode and quickly as my "unacceptable mode" log is ever growing exponentially.

Might as well consider various awards as well for the mode, because I truly have a hard time believing it will not be as popular, or more so than JT65/9 modes.
