My two cents...
I've got no problem with advances in technology, but I chose to use what I want to use...and it ain't FT-8. Every mode other than FT-8 requires a person to tune in a station and to take part in the contact. The idea of being able to take a nap and make QSOs while my computer is talking to yours leaves me cold. I understand the use for weak signal work, but if I can't "hear" him, I didn't make the Q, my computer did. If that's your idea of fun, go to it. I'll stick to more buggy and whip stuff...like busting pileups or running a 250 hour. Things that require operating technique skill of a human being.
