I could also see some non-contest uses for it - think SOTA/WWFF/POTA type
'activations' which are not WARC band restricted but where an operator may
wish to use a higher throughput rate for QSOs. While primarily a contest
tool, FT4 could serve as a mechanism for operators who operate non-contest
award programs where there is some value in operating faster QSOs than FT8
or other low signal modes allow for.
It might also be possible that many will migrate to FT4 because
QSOs are faster than with FT8. I have one JT9 QSO in my log, but
decided it was too much like watching paint dry. FT4 will appeal
to adrenaline junkies (a description which sometimes includes me).
