Howdy all,
To echo Barry, These are the frequencies that get used in the PNW.. 

There are a number of stations that DO run WJST modes on 144mhz and above out here outside of contests. 

144 & 222 get used fairly frequently outside of contests. I've also made digital contacts on 432 outside of contests as well.

Please don't give up on us here in the PNW.. We ARE active on digi outside contests. This is a stereotype that needs to end.

Please look for PNW folks on PJ.. we'll work you 6 - 222 MS and take requests for terr. digi contacts on the highers if you have the fortitude for trying.

Thanks! .-James K7KQA DN06 (digi equipped 6m - 13cm)

For what it's worth, the Pacific Northwest has generally agreed on these FT8
frequencies after discussion at our last conference:

50.313
144.174
222.080
432.500
1296.074

However, there is no WSJT activity here except contests from 222 on up.

 Here in Florida, we are using:
144.174 (used every Monday night starting around 2015 EST)
222.080 (proposed, but I doubt if it has been used)
432.174 (used every Thursday night, after the FLWSS net on 432.090)
902.174 (proposed, but I doubt if it has been used)
1296.174

I suppose we will continue using .174, on up to light waves.

Other than 6 meters, is there any settled/suggested frequency list for FT8
operations in a VHF contest on 144, 222, 432, and 1296?
