As Joel said, it will only get worse as the New Year gets here. Today, I was seeing FT8WW almost every decode and sometimes all 3 streams. But those calling on EVEN were so prevalent earlier. I texted one guy and he said FT8WW was transmitting on ODD and bunches of folks were trying to work him. I asked him what was his db and he told me it was hovering between -5 and +5. Then he got to thinking and realized it must be a pirate. He even saw the notice on the QRZ page about EVEN only, but it didn't soak in the heat of the moment. He didn't fall for the P5KIM a couple days ago since he already had NK.
Time to take a couple "happy pills" and sit back. The circus should be fun.
Good Luck everybody and have a very safe New Year.
