>>>To me, just not the challenge of dxing mostly cw and ssb.
Fair enough. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Another angle. I find JT65 to be a very relaxing mode. Which other mode
allows one to read and write emails, go get a coffee, answer 'nature's
call', etc. while making

JT modes are weak signal modes, not necessarily low power/QRP modes.

I'm way behind reading messages. Please disregard my last one. As we say

Amateur radio is basically about RF, not modes. Modes, beginning with
code, were and are being added as technology permits.

There is JTDX, based on WSJT-X, but with some additional tweaks for the
HF user.

And my question is about the feeling of doing a JT65 QSO, or nothing, on

>>>entities have ever been activated on JT65 on 160M?
It'll never reach the levels of SSB/CW/RTTY, if that's what you are
getting to, for the simple reason that DXpeditions to rare places would
be crazy to spend precious
I did JT65 on 160, but really what´s the challenge?
Is amazing when you did a CW qso, switching between RX antennas, filters
and radio adjustments to pull out a callsign
I don´t know what people than been on topband for decades feel about that

>>>I cannot understand why JT9 is used so little on 160 thru 20. JT65

Not really, there are different 'flavours' of JT65, on HF it's JT65A.
As for JT9, there reason is that JT65-HF, and its derivatives, such as
the one maintained by HB9HQX, is still used by a substantial
