As these figures suggest, I have seen no impact on HF Contest participation as
a result of FT8. Its changed VHF contesting but that’s easily changed if the
VHF Contesting community wants to do it.
The enormous impact has been on DXing, in all forms. That’s a genie that
unfortunately is not going back into the bottle. In my case, virtually
destroying that aspect of the hobby for me. It is what it is.
Thankfully, I remain passionate and very upbeat on HF contesting.
