Hi Bill,
I am wondering why FT8 does not support "CQ XXX" and "QSY 50.280"
sequences which MSK144 supports concerning "split operation" topic
discussed in this thread.
I believe above two sequences intentionally bring the split operation to
out-band, which is beneficial for DX-peditionners.

firstly I should say that if everyone worked split on a busy band then
the overall capacity would probably be reduced.
There are good reasons for not calling zero beat. Taking 6M double-hop

There's a simple solution: if you don't like it, don't use
Very good idea Bill!

I concur with Bob on a need for this feature and like your solution Bill.

Hi Bill,
could it be implemented it such that, if set, "Skip Tx 1" is simply
ignored if the dx call is a compound callsign?
In fact the whole Tx1/RR73 thing might be boiled down to a more
generic option, like "minimal", or "optimise", or

I saw that Steve made a change in r7931:
"*Only print dupes if SNR is higher than what has already been printed."*
IMO dupes are useful in some cases:
1.is interesting to get 2 or 3 decodes of the same call doppler
shifted by airplane

2. some stations have side bands, it's good to deco
