Sierra:
I will be on 40M FT8/FT4 from 0200-0600 UCT tonight.
Will be on SSB Phone for several shifts tomorrow.
Based on my past shifts so far, I prefer Phone. Phone is more hectic
with the pileups, but it's much more fun. The FT8/FT4 modes are
efficient and effort free, but mind-numbingly boring.
I ran analysis on my W1AW/5 logs this evening, my SSB Phone shifts
produce 30% more QSOs over digital. I can boost the digital QSO rate
with FT4, but it doesn't kill the boredom.
I considered running RTTY, but there was too little traffic to bother
with the setup.
I'm using N1MM for logging all my shifts, the custom WSJT-X engine
integrated into N1MM makes switching between phone and the FT modes a
breeze. N1MM also makes it easier to keep a contest style running log
through all the shifts
