If PSKReporter is to believed, total global CW activity across bands is now less than 1% of FT8. For example, look at the report for the last 12 hours (0.4%). This trend began rising dramatically during November, 2018. We can all pretend it's "band conditions" driving these statistics, but I think it's much more than that. The numbers show that FT8 has become an insatiable HF video game. https://pskreporter.info/cgi-bin/pskstats.pl I have no idea as to the accuracy of input drivers that make the reported statistics, nor how it's all compiled. Anyone? Paul, W9AC _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
