In the recent CQ VHF contest I used both MSK144 and FT8 for making many (110) digital contacts. The MSK144 mode already has a checkbox under File/Settings/Advanced for "MSK144 Contest Mode" which allowed the transmission of grid square reports. There presently is no such option for FT8.
I believe that with the most certain heavy usage of FT8 in future VHF contests, it would be a good idea to also make an "FT8 Contest Mode" option available. Thanks for your consideration of this for future releases of WSJT-X.
