I gather that there is some way to hack WSJT-X to do full-auto so that
US hams can violate Part 97 and something something something.

I am against telling other people what is and isn't fun for them, but
that wouldn't be fun for me.

I do spend a lot of time trying to optimize where my FT8 signal is
going and making sure that the other station actually got my "73" as
you noted ... and yelling at the screen.  "For ****'s sake, you're +5
why are you not printing me?!?!?  DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW I NEED
YOUR COUNTER?!?!?"
