Hi Jay. The IP address is actually tied to your device and is picked up and
identified on the internet. My point was that the machine deserves the credit
for the DXCC. That’s all.
I would totally agree with you that if all this was about was RTTY morphing to
FT8 then its not very different. However, FT8 is pulling on other modes
clearly based on this dialog.
At the end of the day, some people care whether they are part of the action,
and some people don’t. Those of us that do seem to have a pretty universal
distaste for FT-8.

Ed – the “IP address” and the internet have nothing to do with the FT8 mode
other than that’s how you initially download the WSJT-X program...so why is the
transition from RTTY to FT8 any different than the transition from AM to SSB
again ?
