Topband: 160

[rich_k7zv at gphilltop.com]

As ham radio changes there will remain at least a niche for CW, SSB, and 
RTTY and it's competitions. FT8 will supplement the bands , not supplant 
it, IMO. Do you think FT8, FT4 and whatever digital modes come along are 
the future or will something else take its place? Who knows... time and 
technology moves on. Maybe it might attract some of the Millennials to 
fill in the void by us Baby Boomers who will all too soon be making. 
Let's set a good example for them to follow.
