Jim,
Those 120 QSO-s were all NA and SA DX! Hard to do on TB in July!
Also, we were not using the DXpedition mode, which is faster.
FT8 is here to stay, but so what? No need to "buy into it". The fact that somebody is using FT8 in some other part of the band does not make my enjoyment of CW any less.

73,
George

buy
into the.... new fangled mode.
