I've just downloaded the release candidate for WSJT-X from https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/k1jt/wsjtx.html and installed it.
This version has the new FT8 mode and I was eager to try it out.
It seems to be able to automatically establish communications after calling CQ and initiate a full QSO. I have yet to make my first contact with it despite being on 20m for a couple of hours.
There isn't much information available about FT8 (that I have found) but from what I have seen so far it looks like a useful mode for quick QSO's normally associated with fading signals.
