The FT8 comet is back: 1) It's still legal; 2) It's still not mandatory to use it; 3) It only 'wastes' up to 3kHz on each band; 4) Lots of people are having fun with it. . . .
I can think of so many of Yoga Bera's sayings to reply to the negative reactions.
As for an FT8 contest, they are there already. I thought about it, I tried it a couple of times, and went back to normal and F&H FT8.
I still think that a mode that relies on time sync is not a good fit for contests. For that, RTTY is still king.
