Terry makes the crucial point: FT8 (and the likes) should be in a different
class. Other hobbies do that: sailboats don't race against power boats, etc.
I don't think that there is much point arguing whether FT8 is Amateur Radio
or not. It is. I don't care for it, but I have been involved with

Or to put it, just what I think. Paul's description of how WSPR and FT8 can/is
automatic points out what a lot of us object to. It would not be bad IF they
had a separate class for DXCC for the digital modes just because it can be like
'shooting fish in a barrel'. Some of us have work

Already happening with Windows macro commands. Anyone who works me in the
sparse instances I'm on FT8 is making a fully-automated contact. When one
FT8 contact is complete, macros start another. I may be in the

Ed – the “IP address” and the internet have nothing to do with the FT8 mode
other than that’s how you initially download the WSJT-X program...so why is
the transition from RTTY to FT8 any different than the transition from AM to
SSB again ?

Exactly Ed, Just as SSB did to AM and digital modes are doing to RTTY.
Soon it may be computers working computers with minimal operator
supervision. Right now on FT-8 when statins call my CQ they are answered
and sent a signal report automatically and the logging is done with a

Such is the new trend. No offense to KV4FZ whatsoever but if you provide
the easy path.most will take it. The only way to affect the "easy way out"
is to not provide it.
I remember year's ago doing CQ WW CW ABLP as C6ARS in 2001. I ended the
contest on 15M running a couple of hundred JAs.

Hi Herb,
while I did not hear and did not take your signal.
Surprisingly, on January 28 2019 I had a similar situation,
I made 28 US FT8 stations mainly from NC,AL,GA and also TI2CC himself called me
at -12 level.
The most interesting thing that I did at the RX was at my TX antenna (use long
