Go back even further ... when Phone came along. Where was the
skill in phone (compared to CW)? FT8 may be the modern Phone.

Complain as you will….if you cling to CW as the only valid mode of
communications on Top Band, you will fail. You are willing to sacrifice
RTTY to FT8 just recently… in an effort to justify your position….to no
avail. Technology moves forward….you stay behind. All modes are valid and
there is nothing you can do to halt it.
AM, SSB, CW, RTTY, Digital modes including FT8….all valid. Doesn’t matter
if you used a bug or a laptop…all valid.
Fight about remote ops…a much more productive fight!…..that’s if you must
fight!
This discussion is getting old….
