I believe FT8 is 13 sec TX, 2 sec decode and then 15 sec RX for a total of
17 sec non-TX so you have 13 sec TX and 17 sec RX. Much less than 50%.

And even this is conservative -- JT65 is 48 sec TX and 72 sec RX, so 40%
duty cycle. FT8 and MSK144 have equal TX and RX times, so 50% duty cycle.
The TX period for MSK144 can be varied from 5-30 sec, but TX and RX times
are always equal.
