Hi All
That's right, the main thing is to enjoy the process.
The popularity of FT8 (and other versions of FT .. that are possible in
the future) lies in the fact that it provides an easier way to DXCC.
It's simple - remove the FT from DXCC, and there will be no activity ...
I personally have less interested in collecting DXCC counters than I
used to. Now I just like calling CQ and working ANY dx that calls in,
even I have worked them numerous times. This winter season I have had
38 QSOs with Wolf DF2PY and 20 QSOs with Vlad RA4LW on 160m and
enjoyed every one. The thrill of digging the signal out of the noise
is the magic of radio for me. I find operating FT8 painfully boring,
but I realize for others it proves exciting.
