Topband: FT8: Making it too easy?

[DXer]

For those that say FT8 makes it too easy to win awards, climb the DXCC
ladder, or make it into the HR.

May I ask what the reason is for going to the trouble, and expense, of
purchasing the best transceivers, installing towers, beams, and amps?

How is your operating enhanced, if not by making it easier to 'bag' that
difficult entity?

Wouldn't a DXCC award be more valuable if earned with a galena receiver,
and an indoor random wire?
