It seems like most folks are only interested in chat-arranged contacts
and CQ
almost exclusively on FT8 after the first half hour. Chat and FT8 seem
to be a
match made in heaven. CQ on FT8 while you arrange contacts on the chat
channel.
To me, contesting doesn't get more boring than that. To me it's fine for
day to
day activities, but a very unattractive option in a contest. Sadly, it's
a mode
of operation you're pretty much forced into if you want to make contacts
during
a VHF contest. Can we even still consider these VHF activities contests,
or
should we rename them "activity nights and weekend"?
