Agree
Last night the J28 spent a lot of time on CW on 160. Very few Q’s. I heard him faintly for several minutes. (Congrats to Joel on his QSO!) In that situation it would make more sense to use FT8/FT4 on a unique frequency like 1836, Better shot at making contacts

Yep.. And I thought FT modes were mainly useful for when CW and SSB were
inaudible. Most DXpedition operators on CW or SSB can work more QSOs per minute than FT8 or quicker FT4 allow.. When I see software modes being used at the expense of CW and SSB and RTTY which are “in” and very audible, that puts a bad feeling
in the minds of many of us.
Sub-audible is OK for sure, and then I am for FT modes when other strong modes can not being used. When signals are in the big + range, 5-6 QSOs per minute by SSB and CW ops is very fast, no waiting for 15
and 30 second rules etc. IIWII and it’s their $ on the ‘other end’ and their time.. But many are left out of QSOs if SSB and CW are no used much, especially when conditions are in and 5-6 Qs a minute can be made..
