Decoding takes place at the end of a receive sequence and proceeds in

NOTE: To avoid QRM from competing callers, it is frequently desirable
to answer a CQ on a different frequency from that of the CQing
station. Choose a Tx frequency that appears to be not in use. The
same is true when you tail-end another QSO.
NOTE: The FT8 decoder can often copy several overlapping signals at
nearly the same frequency. However, in crowded band conditions you
will often find it advantageous to move off the frequency of the
station you are calling. Keyboard shortcuts *Shift+F11* and
*Shift+F12* provide an easy way to move your Tx frequency in 60 Hz
steps.
