[CQ-Contest] RBN Stats for CQWW CW

[Edward Sawyer]

As these figures suggest, I have seen no impact on HF Contest participation as a result of FT8.  Its changed VHF contesting but that’s easily changed if the VHF Contesting community wants to do it.

The enormous impact has been on DXing, in all forms.  That’s a genie that unfortunately is not going back into the bottle.  In my case, virtually destroying that aspect of the hobby for me.  It is what it is.

Thankfully, I remain passionate and very upbeat on HF contesting.
