My opinion is worth exactly what you've paid for it, hi!
FT8 came along some years back and ruined my 6m & 2m experience. I don't
want my computer working your computer and not hear anything in the speaker.
Technically I think it's AMAZING though.(I know there are folks doing it
with BOT programs too...)
My opinion is, a lot of people are lazy so FT8 rules. 99% of activity on
6m/2m- day in, day out is FT8. Yawn!
Until you can separate FT# contests from Analog contests, people will
continue to be lazy and you're not going to hear much on CW/SSB...day to
day. In contests, only a little more.
Thank goodness I worked all my 2m/6m grids, countries, states, zones and
whatever the hard way (Legacy modes) and can at least be proud of that. I
mean, nobody cares what this guy has worked for DX except the guy looking
back at me in the mirror every morning.
