Topband: JA's came in droves today on 160

[Edward Sawyer]

Hi Jay.  The IP address is actually tied to your device and is picked up and identified on the internet.  My point was that the machine deserves the credit for the DXCC.  That’s all.

 

I would totally agree with you that if all this was about was RTTY morphing to FT8 then its not very different.  However, FT8 is pulling on other modes clearly based on this dialog.

 

At the end of the day, some people care whether they are part of the action, and some people don’t.  Those of us that do seem to have a pretty universal distaste for FT-8.

Ed – the “IP address” and the internet have nothing to do with the FT8 mode other than that’s how you initially download the WSJT-X program...so why is the transition from RTTY to FT8 any different than the transition from AM to SSB again ?
