- The post was not about the demise of contesting, it was about sunspots numbers and propagation. If you look at the numbers, they predict a flux consistently in the 50s. I can't remember ever seeing

- If you're into FT8 there seems to be plenty of DX spotted on a daily basis to keep your typical DXer happy despite the bad radio conditions. Can you see the scenario in the future that those casual c

- One tiny issue bugs me a bit, that being the fact that as slow as FT8 may be, it takes longer to fill out the QSL card that is demanded INSTANTLY after the Q is logged, than it does to log the Q. So.
