I have a question concerning the FT4 DX contest organized by the “European FT8-Club”:
Do you have any information about the “European FT8 Club”. The ony information is the homepage without information, who is behind it. No contest result were published in the last years. I suppose, it is a “fake” club, might be created by MSHV to promote their FT8 contest software.

Good question. I do not know about the FT8 Club. The contest had reasonably good participation, and I agree it is likely intended to raise the profile of MSHV software, which I have never used. I use WSJT-X software, which works just fine for FT-mode contesting. If the results aren’t posted for this contest, then there is little reason for anyone to participate in future years.
