I enjoy low band dxing and contesting. And have an above average set up. All that said, I get on when I want.....or not. Last I checked ham radio is still a hobby not an obligation. Re FT8: My only gripe is its location on 1840. PLENTY of room above 1900 so it wouldn't interfere with other modes. 1840 was, I feel, a poor choice.
