FT8 split the RTTY list (which has been around since steam days) into
two. The original list is dead and "rtty-digital" is not much better.
Hint - more channels doesn't mean more good content. You'd have
thought we'd learned that from Cable TV, but alas ...
Can't for the life of me figure out what's up with some people. You
want to do FT8? Great! Have fun! It's run my WAS totals up,
certainly. And my VUCC totals. Don't want to do FT8? Great! Don't
do it. Plenty (and I mean *plenty* of other ways to wiggle the
electrons.
I swear that some hams won't be happy until everyone is forced to run spark.
