Wrong.
FT8 is indeed a sub-noise floor mode like JT65. Don know where you got
the idea it isn't, but FT8 is actually an offshoot of JT65 except it
sacrifices a few db for the sake of faster exchanges. The official FT8
documentation from K1JT, the creator of both, says that it is nominally
capable of -20 db decoding. >Referenced to the noise floor<
And of course CW is faster ... just 20 db or so less effective for weak
signal reception.

It's great that there's so much activity, but far too many crap overdriven signals
calling relentlessly.
