I am also a licensed ham, and you are right. HF digital modes are very low data rate. A low bits/sec data rate because of the limited bandwidth will result in high latency for any nontrivial message length. FT8 is only 6b/sec for comparison. I'm curious to learn more about how they would use the spectrum.

I've yet to play with FT8. I've had to sell my radio equipment when I became disabled. One day, I'll get back into it again.
