I agree; the FT-8 thing has had a lot of negative impact; some of the other
modes that take longer, but are weak signal modes were far less
devastating; people used lower power and got along more or less without
interfering too much except with other JT modes...
I think the quick turn part of FT8 c
To add insult to injury the signals are not even below the noise floor. Only
when calculated against a 3 KHz bandwidth. You can clearly see signals on the
P3 that are reporting -25 snr within WSJT-X.

As I understand it, FT8 was developed primarily with 6M E-skip in mind,
because an older weak signal mode, JT65 took so long that a double hop
