<font face="Verdana">Hiya Richie,<br>
<br>
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>
