      Yes, there are actual humans at both ends of the contact.  Is it
      rag chewing?  No.  Is it like a contest contact on CW,RTTY or even
      SSB?  Yes, we exchange location and signal reports and that
      qualifies as a complete QSO.<br>
      <br>
      Is FT8 for everyone?  Of course not.  But neither is CW, or RTTY,
      or SSTV, or rag chewing, or VHF, or satellites, or POTA, or
      name-your-favorite-mode/activity.  The beautiful genius of our
      hobby is that there is a cornucopia of ways to enjoy it!<br>
