New feature request by @VE6WOO! Now that WRL Desktop can do FT8 right in the app. It would be great if WRL would record a video explaining FT8, and how someone with no previous experience with FT8 might get started using WRL Deskpto to handle all of the FT8 contacts and logging. As someone who has never done FT8 before, I’m very interested in getting started, but I really don’t know how to set up my radio to work with WRL Deskptop and work FT8. Thanks for all your great work! ---

I’m really excited to figure out how FT8 works. If I can do it all in WRL that would be awesome. I don’t want to have to install a ton of extra software and worry about synchronizing logs and all that between applications. If it can all be done within WRL, then I’m sure the learning curve for a digital mode newbie like me would be much less steep. Ps: I love how I managed to spell “desktop” at least three different ways in my feature request! I need to work on my mobile device typing skills!
