Hi Gang It is mid summer here and E season on 6M has been fun to play with while 160m is pretty S L O W as it usually is. On these pages there has been alot of chatter regarding FT8 - (which basicall
Interesting observations Jeff. I will remain on 160 CW as I have in years past. I enjoy the visceral satisfaction that comes with pulling out the weak signals and having direct, unencumbered interact
very low activity on CW I heard last night WT3A, very strong, and my skimmer often report Jon AA1K and few others 73, Jorge CX6VM/CW5W <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=lin
Hi Jeff Your concerns are shared by a lot of us. I made the same observations about 10M several times this summer. As you said, it the way things are. I have 147 countries confirmed on 160M (all CW).
If we CW operators would all stay on a very tight frequency passband and call CQ every 15 seconds I bet there would be a lot of interesting things happening to us also. Especially if we do it 24/7 or
Hi Topbanders ! Everything is easy to fix. There should be a strict separation of achievements - 1. They are made only by man. 2. They are made only on the computer. Delete Mixed Achievement Chart :
UNFORTUNATELY K1JT and FT 8 killed amateur radio on 6 meters. It will kill it on 160 meters,and SOON it will kill all amateur radio activity on all bands. Soon authorities will reduce our bands,as we
It helped you know what his opinion is. Wes N7WS UNFORTUNATELY K1JT and FT 8 killed amateur radio on 6 meters. It will kill it on 160 meters,and SOON it will kill all amateur radio activity on all b
Same thing was said about SSB. The sky is not falling. K1JT might have saved Ham Radio. Seems to be quite popular. 60 plus percent of all LOTW confirms are FT-X now....Speaks volumes. There is room
ARRL is NOT HELPING simple solution.......if ARRL will make FT modes NON VALID for DXCC ???? I am sure....this will make the use of FT mode used only to whom really likes it and will NOT kill the CW
The sky is not falling for in terms of CW, it has already fallen. 73. . . Dave, W0FLS Same thing was said about SSB. The sky is not falling. K1JT might have saved Ham Radio. Seems to be quite popular

For ARRL non-members, who will not be able to access the article "Rotten Damped Spark Stuff" behind the pay wall, a Google search (www.startpage.com) on that phrase produced exactly one relevant hit:
I reached the same pivot point that Jeff did this year but choose the other path. I have left DXing from a band perspective. FT8 is not enjoyable to me and doing something not enjoyable to build tota
In my humble opinion, FT8 should have nothing to do with the competitors of DXCC Mix, CW, SSB or RTTY. RTTY emission was killed in short wavelengths, expeditions in the increasing percentage use FT8
Hi Andy Hi All Absolutely simple and correct. Why don't ARRL leaders understand this? It is not possible to equate the results of a robot operator with the results of a human operator. For FT8, there
Hi Andy and Nick This has been asked to arrl, BUT you only get a very unfriendly answer. Take it or leave,,,,,,,They dont want to lan to this arguments,,,, That solution had made all difference in th
