Gary, you very correct. I'm with you on that. Slow down. Enjoy the
program for what it is.

This is a different situation than working strong signals on HF, where I rarely
operate FT8, so my experience is different. So, when another station sends 73,
and my station does not automatically respond, I'll just have to do that
manually.
And this is the problem, Andy…. All of these modes were started on VHF. After
FT8 had been on the air a short time, some people decided to try it out on HF.
By the way, there wasn’t a bunch of whining about too many sequences on HF wen
it started. People were happy to run it as it was, and it worked quite well.
The more people got into it, the more there started to be this strange desire
to make things go faster. Contests, etc., just made it worse. I would guess
that the majority of the people on these modes now don’t know a thing about
using them on six or two meters. All you hear now is faster, faster, FASTER!
Good grief! As I posted months ago, why not just get the phone out and see how
fast you can call your ham buddies and log contacts. What’s happened to ham
radio? What is the hurry?
I know - unpopular opinion right now, but I know I’m not the only one.
