I doubt I'd like to get along the way you want us to get along, by suppressing discussion because you don't like it. You want tolerance based upon indifference, and that's wrong. I would posit that

Alan, respectfully, it doesnt sound like you ever looked at Joe Taylor's WSJT program and you do not understand the facts of FT8. Operators can NOT "walk away and not participate in making QSOs" as t

Nobody is talking about "shutting" anything down. Quite the opposite: expand the DXCC program by creating a new category! FT-x is sufficiently different to justify that. The skills need for FT-x are

Gutting the hobby?  We are entitled to our own opinions.  There are a bunch of people having a blast on FT8 that seem to think differently. What is your goal to get FT8 banned?  Why would the ARRL do

Have any of you taken the time to write your Division Directors to ask for changes and add FT-x as a separate award?   That does not solve the real issue here which is people have abandoned CW for FT

Absolutely not! All modes used for DXCC have more skills in common than they have differences. There is more difference between CW and SSB than there is among RTTY, PSKxx, FTx - yet all count for DXC

Agreed George. It's (past) time for mode specific single band awards. There's nothing preventing our alleged "national organization" from doing so, only the will to do so. _________________ Searchabl
