The FT8 comet is back:
1) It's still legal;
2) It's still not mandatory to use it;
3) It only 'wastes' up to 3kHz on each band;
4) Lots of people are having fun with it.

I can think of so many of Yoga Bera's sayings to reply to the negative
reactions.
As for an FT8 contest, they are there already. I thought about it, I
tried it a couple of times, and went back to normal and F&H FT8.
I still think that a mode that relies on time sync is not a good fit for
contests. For that, RTTY is still king.
