Haha...ok.. welcome to the ultmate world of? KI driven? full automated contest...
The advantage is... it is easy to teach a KI to fulfill the bandplans... ?? but this mode is a add on to FT-8 ... not a sub... ? so bet on it, we will lose again some kHz? CW? only band... ? ?
The old? order? 'use it or lose it'????? is hopeless against?? 24/7?? possible automated stations...????? and? as we all know the bandplan council loves to count transmitters in the air and contacts logged in Webdatabases... ? ?
But I learned.. ? listen long.. ? listen careful...? watch the bands.. and after that done again..... do a QSO... ? so 99 % of by band use is listening... ?? Just compare a hunter sitting in the bush just to spot? the rare bird with a? B-52? dropping it's bomb down the wood and check the ash for the DNA of the rare bird...? and who have a nice picture showing a Ham CW op? against? a KI driven? digital station.??? .. and yes.. you get it.. the B-52 drops? the bomb even if there is a hunter sitting in the bush...
Don't get me wrong..??? I use also FT-8? JST65 etc...?? but not for contacts that are expected to be bring in a nice S/N ...?? but i want to get into contact with someone .. not with something ..
just my 2 cents...
