I see little difference between the attitude expressed in this post
and those who, in the '50s and '60s, refused to switch to that
new-fangled SSB.
I also fail to see how FT8 differs from RTTY implemented by stations
using, for example, N1MM or WriteLog with multiple decoder windows in
which one simply clicks on a callsign to start an automated QSO and
clicks on the report to enter it into the log.
Perhaps someone could explain the difference.
Jim is right - there is no significant difference. As described, both
FT8 and RTTY represent automated machine-decoded data modes. All the
more reason, I suggest, to refrain from combining either with SSB/CW in
individual contests.
