    The makers of Easylog ham software (which I REALLY like) have
    created an FT8 book. I have not seen it but some here may be
    interested.<br>

      <p><font size="4" face="Verdana">For those of you that may be new
          to the FT8/FT4 digital modes - Welcome!</font></p>
      <p><font size="4" face="Verdana">Please, PLEASE, make sure that
          you <b>check (enable) that 'Hold TX Freq' check box </b>within
          WSJT-X (or the equivalent in your software of choice).  This
          will prevent you from changing your TX frequency to the TX
          frequency of the station you are calling.  The result is that
          all callers will be spread out over the 3khz passband rather
          than all bunched up on the TX frequency of the station they
          are calling.  This is especially important when trying to
          contact special event stations or a rare DX station.</font></p>
      <p><font size="4" face="Verdana">Also, try to set your FT8 TX
          frequency on an even 50hz increment (500hz, 1150hz, 2200hz,
          etc) within the passband.  This will maximize the use of the
          resource and preventing potential QRM with signals
          overlapping.</font></p>
