Topband: CQ WW 160 CW - SK..

[Ed Sawyer]

Working sub-audible signals form JA to Zone 2 comes to mind.

Or exploring daylight paths that don’t support audible signals.

They are all interesting and achievements in their own right, they just need to be distinguished and separate in my opinion.

But such is one man's opinion.

Still taking pokes at the FT8 ops.

What would constitute an exceptional achievement on FT8? 

That’s like telling CW guys that their achievements aren’t really noteworthy compared to how the Sideband guys have done it.
