- Well as far as I'm concerned Mike, FT8 would just be my computer having a contact, not me personally . . . so it's not something I would ever be interested in. But if that's the case, it's even more

- Hello Topbanders. . . In my opinion the lack of activity centers on a few key issues: 1. There is no denying FT8 has siphoned off a lot of CW activity, easily proven by a quick tune of the band any n

- Just as a note , most of the DX operations on 6 meters moved to FT8 because of the short, almost momentary nature of many 6 meter DX openings. But w hen the band supports longer prop ag ation period
