[VHFcontesting] FT8 and VHF contesting

[Buddy Morgan]

I am not sure that rules changes are going to fix any problems. The fact is that times change. I am on 6M, 2M, 432, 1296, 2304, and 5760, from my home station. I have a legal limit amp, on 2M, 280 watts on 432 and 500 watts on 1296. Yes, all the, in and out of the noise contacts, that I made on SSB and CW, a few years ago, can now be made with a modest station, using FT8. Technology has changed the way we operate. I am sorry that this has disillusioned and discouraged people.  Technology has changed a lot of things in our lives. There is no going back.
