Well,
Topband and 6 meters is killed by FT 8 anyway.
Hams seems not to carethere is not a single sound on qrg,BUT Hams seems to
be happy to push a finger and let the computer make a so called qso for them.
Also the RIB business is as crazy. Having a station on a place,and operators

THANKS Dieter for being on top band CW. Top band is almost ( like 6 meters )

I have also given up ,more or less, on the situation.
6 meter is killed on CW/SSB. ONLY TZ4AM and TT8SN together
with some few Europeans still stay trying to activate CW/SSB. 95% of all others
use FT 8 ,and says its a Qso. Not for me. Never
Hi Bob
And I can tell youI feel samePLUS it has also destroyed the fun on
50 mc. NO CW or SSB to be heard ( except TZ4AM and TT8SN still on CW/SSB).
Both 5V7RU/ ty5RU and J28MD ONLY FT 8 unheard mode. NOT even
a try on CW,even that conditions are perfect.
This is VERY SAD and will

YES Slavek, I agree 100%. K1JT and his computer-game has
completely destroyed 160 and 6 meters and most other bands.
VERY SAD .Its a shame.
Me and many many others has almost gone QRT ,and people stay
away from our hobby. But we had a lot of fun before FT 8.
Because now almost
Hi Bob
Interesting info. You do not hate FT 8 ,,, I do.

Sorry its the start of the end of our hobby,made by FT 8

Hi folks
Been reading all sayings about FT8/FT4-business
.
MYSELF I will NEVER ever use FT4 or FT 8. Been active Ham-operator since
1961. I am now 75 years old,and still active,and dx-expeditioner.
I say, this PC to PC business kills the challenge of our hobby.
I agree 100% with OK1RR and OK1TN
AGREE 100 % with you Martin /OK1RR.
This FT 8 PC to PC playgame is just killing our hobby,at least as I see it.
Take care and enjoy,and I am SURE ARRL will never listen to your
feelings.

SORRY Roger
FT 8 has killed Ham radio ,when you need your own skill and not trust
a computer to make your connection. I will NEVER use that mode.Unfortunately
MNI MNI Sweden Hams have almost gone QRT for good,because of this FT-8 and
lack of activity on hearing modes.
Kind regards

Hi Wes

A absolut PERFECT explanation about the present situation and the future of our
loved hobby. Unfortunately most young new Hams I have seen started using FT 8,
has already gone qrt. No challenge, no skill.
I will NOT discuss this any further. Please consider,and we will see what will
happen.

THANKS Dan . I agree 100 %.
I said already last year. FT 8 and K1JT will kill our hobby.
It takes away all efforts, challenge and personal touch.
I saw yesterday 2 Hams saying,they will sell their equipment and go QRT for
ever in our hobby.
The ONLY possible hope, is ,if ARRL change the
Agree 100 % with Ed N1UR.
Its the same situation on 6 meters. Most expeditions go ONLY FT 8 nowadays.It
gives more QSO:s ,it looks like.And more or less no options to find good
openings on old modes.
I will never go FT 8 , because I feel, many many QSO on FT 8 , you do not hear
anything

Hi Andy and Nick
This has been asked to arrl, BUT you only get a very unfriendly answer.
Take it or leave,,,They don’t want to lan to this arguments
That solution had made all difference in the amateur group, for sure

UNFORTUNATELY K1JT and FT 8 killed amateur radio on 6 meters.
It will kill it on 160 meters,and SOON it will kill all amateur radio activity
on all bands.
Soon authorities will reduce our bands,as we do not use these frequencies any
more.
SORRY its all gone from enjoy ,challenge and efforts
YES SORRY but FT 8 has killed Amateur Radio more or less.
Instead there is a computer game going on.Computers picking up signals
not even being able to be heard by humans. Real shame.
And ARRL allow these game-connections to count for awards that BEFORE needed
challange and efforts and operators

Thanks for QSO from P29VCX to C6AGU, even that it was not top band

Good morning all
As it probably can not be stopped. The ONLY way seems that ARRL acts, and
NOT accept these modes ( unhearing modes) for todays dxcc. If they make a
separate dxcc for these modes, anyone that prefer these kind of QSO can
use these for that NEW dxcc. And it will not impact

BUT it is easy to solve this.

They are all on FT8 more or less.
Then you do not need to hear the station you work, and you can even stay late
in bed.

Hi Roger
Agree 100%. Also for me ,,,FT8 and JT65 is NOT a Ham radio QSO.As I see it.
Its computer talking to a computer without human help.
NEVER from me either. BUT these people that enjoy FT8 aso and remote stations
from each side of big countries like USA and Russia, they can of course do so.
Hallo Calle
They are all on computer to computer FT8 mode ..Signals not being heard by
operator.
Ham radio is ,,,no more only computer doing the job,and all can
do something else,while computer get log filled.
Sorry but same indications as on 50 mc last summer.
Have fun Calle and hope
Correct Don/W2MPK
A separate digital dxcc for FT8/JT65 should make it.These contacts no good
for the other band/CW/SSB/Mixed awards. Just a separate one.
BUT the official at arrl refused to even think of it. Very unpleasant answer
from him.
