I am with Cort 100%. FT8 is not a legitimate ham eadio contact. Machine to machine. No operator skill what so ever.

K4WI/NA4W will no longer  compete in any contests that permits FT8 to compete along side the other modes. I skipped the rtty Roundup for this exact reason.  Digi boys want to have their own test.... have at it. I don't consider digi to be a real mode and see no reason why I should be asked to compete with it. This is my opinion and if you don't like it, hit delete and move on. 73's Cort K4WI
