I saw the threads on this topic that dated to close to a year ago today, but was curious about what people found in terms of performance. It seems like this should be a good DX mode, as people have said.
I'm trying to complete a QSO with a ZL chap and have tried a few times using FST4 with 60 and 120 second settings, but no luck. According to the tables/data you can find, FST4 with a 120 setting is more sensitive than WSPR. I was decoded on WSPR but not on FST4-120, which is odd. Today I transmitted using the 300 second mode just as a test, starting 30 minutes before and every "even multiple of 5 minutes past the hour" until the local ZL SR - and will find out later today if my partner in crime managed to decode me. I noted that Adrian VK4TUX was using this mode - Adrian if you're reading this, please email me! My email is on QRZ.com. Any practical experience and suggestions are welcome!
