FT8 (short for Franke–Taylor design, 8-FSK modulation) is a frequency shift keying digital mode of radio communication used by amateur radio operators worldwide. It was released on June 29, 2017, by its creators Joe Taylor, K1JT and Steve Franke, K9AN, as part of the WSJT software package.
The analysis highlights Applications, Art and Measurement as prominent areas in the source structure around FT8.
Source areas are shown by the number of related topics found in each part of the analysis. Use smaller areas too: they can reveal specialized angles and content gaps.
Smaller areas are not necessarily less important. They contain fewer connections in this analysis and can be useful for finding specialized angles or coverage gaps.
