NEWSFLASH: FT8 has allowed Ham Operators skills to decline!
I am a fan of FT8 because it invites more into our hobby....BUT... man has it created a class of ham that are idiots...
WHY in the BLUE HELL would you be calling a station you cannot possibly hear? How do I know this? Because IF YOU ARE TXing ON THE SAME SEQUEINCE AS THE DX STATION... 'YOU' CANNOT HEAR THEM! This is a fact... SO....
To save YOUR reputation (making the assumption you give a crap about that)... DO NOT CALL ANYONE unless you can COPY them! People will STILLSCREW THIS UP....
I would COACH you to be the best operator you can possibly be... What if you were called upon to MENTOR someone (God forbid for some of you)? Would you be a good "model" for them to emulate? Maybe not! But we ALL have an OBLIGATION to operate correctly. SO... like Nike said...
JUST DO IT!!!!
Coach out
