As an old dog I am sorry to see that FT8 has become all the rage. I grew up with a few vacuum tubes and a dipole. AM carrier controlled, 5 tube receivers. Loved CW when I had very little. Love SSB with big antennas and towers.
FT8 changes the game. No more rag chews. So this is what DX has become. No big power, no big antennas. Someone will write an app that will tell the radio to keep calling cq and log contacts. V.2 of the App will record new prefixes and club log it. I may feel critical as I write this but the future is not mine and all is fair in love and war.
