Its not entirely Off limit on this reflector Its the dev list for weak signal applications. However, FT8 is being used as a mode of preference, when a QSO could easily be completed on SSB or CW. How about adding a feature that would put a BIG red screen splash up when signals exceed a certain lim

Seems, that these modes are more and more becoming HIGH power modes, what consumes lots of qrm. Could there be possibility to add, when someone opens WSJTX, first window shows you "FORGET LINEAR" and you have to agree, before wsjtx opens. That does not help much, but shows those guys with linears
