As I said, I wasn't taking into account the differences in bandwidth, so
my comment wasn't accurate.

Referenced to the noise floor at what bandwidth? If you're claiming
FT8 can copy sigs 20 dB below what you can copy on CW, that's nonsense
and not even true for JT65. Anecdotal info from hardcore 6m guys
(translate: real world results) say they're not working anything they
couldn't copy on CW. It's a PITA with everyone crammed in a few kHz
and a couple bad sigs wipe it out. In practice, it might be a few dB
better than copy by ear with a narrow filter if you're decent at ESP
level copy.
That said, I've been using JT65 on 6m EME for several years and love
it. I'm not at all a luddite about this. Just trying to be realistic.
I sure hope the whole June VHF contest doesn't ignore CW & SSB, and
try to squeeze onto 313 !
YMMV
