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 :

And then FT8 (and many future FTs ....) will lose popularity.
Only children will play with them ...

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 at least
every hour that we are not asleep.
However, PC-automation has it's advantages, some are at work while
working DX and others are gardening. Some even sit by the radio/PC and
watch things happen :-)
Bottom line is, we need to activate our transmitters more and not just
listen for others. A perfect example is Bill KH7XS who opens up almost
any seemingly "dead" band to Europe, at any time, just by calling CQ
for a while.
CW is not only great fun as you say Dave, CW is King!
