One tiny issue bugs me a bit, that being the fact that as slow as FT8 may be, it takes longer to fill out the QSL card that is demanded INSTANTLY after the Q is logged, than it does to log the Q. So... tell me again, why I need to jump head over heels into FT8?
It has its good sides, I can set up and make Qs, while repairing and building. That IS a big plus. However, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to do very nearly the same thing with a keyer, on cw. And you have a chance to make a memorable Q too.
Whick to do?

Have a great day,
