a couple things, first of all FT-8 does tune a few kHz so not sure a crystal
controlled rig is the answer (I realize Herb was just joking,.. hah).. 2nd I
agree that we are dangerously close to being able to click a button on the
computer and then come back at the end of the contest to see how we scored..
Not MY idea of a great time.. BUT it is amazing technology and I'm sure people
grumbled when SSB replaced AM in the vhf contests.. Having a hard time wrapping
my brain around all this..

OK, I clued in. FT-8 et al. Fine modes. Excellent technology.
Smells like cheating.
At the very least, the QSOs should count for less. :-)
