"Me three."
I guess it's time I admitted the hobby is taking important steps and
leaving me behind. I "get it" that really serious DXers can't let any new
band country, regardless of mode, get away from them. I worked 'em all on
phone or CW and just don't have the drive any longer. For me, it's CW and
rag chewing and certain contests. So enjoy the new mode. I get it, sort of,
but it's not for me. To have my computer talk to your computer with me in,
at best, a side position, just leaves me flat, even though there is no
doubt that the S/N technology is superior and quite advanced.

Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] RBN Announcement on FT8 Spotting
Let it rip.
Who cares any more as FT8 is about computers talking to computers while
the operator is doing
- or has his mind - on other things. Ham Heaven is here according to the
masses and apparently statistics. RBN is all about computers anyway.
And we must make decisions based on statistics - right?
To be able to make use of the FT8 "Deep"
functionality the computer needs the info to decode unknown callsigns that
are "22 dB below the noise level".
So why not feed the computers with as much info as possible to speed up
the journey up the DXCC ladder. Then, when the barn is full, some
operators might even return to real ham radio again without concerns over
what is fed to the RBN network.
