So don't believe Clublog results, just turn on your radio and compare
activity on FT8 with activity on other modes. You'll have to download
and install the devil's WSJT-X to do that. I hope that your soul is not
thereby permanently stained by the act of trying to learn the facts. :)

I called CQ on SSB for an hour and called CQ on CW for an hour. I worked about 100 stations.
This was a weekday evening with a mix of NA, SA, and Eu stations. I then looked up each
call to see how many were log uploaders to Clublog. The answer, only 20% of that
“traffic” uploaded to clublog.
Beware of assumptions on data.
75% of clublog uploaders may be FT8 – to your point probably higher. But that
does not represent the HF traffic at all.
