That graph looks more like 56% to me... also remember, that is just the
QSOs reported to clublog, not the total number of QSOs.
Since FT8 makes it easy to report, it is easy to send the data and get
confirmations, where other modes do not do that as easily.
I am not trying to minimize the impact of that mode, it is VERY popular, but
some statistics don't tell the whole story.
I am still getting LOTW Confirmations from the 1990's and 2000's from
contesters who are finally getting on line with the LOTW system... NONE of
them are FT8 (of course LOL)

Guys,
G7VJR (Club Log) has published a fascinating graph depicting how many QSOs
were logged on Club Log Last year by mode. FT8 skyrocketted from nothing in
May 2017 to 60% of all logged QSOS in December 2017. 60 %! This could have
major implications on DXing and contesting if the trend continues. Click on
the link below to see the graph.
