To do or not to do FT8

There is conflict of interests. When I am on SSB people send me emails to go to FT8, when I am on FT8 people are waiting for SSB. It is one man effort and with power supply problem (parcel with new power supply not arrived yet). I cannot be everywhere…

Personally I hate FT8 (you cannot say FT8 is an art of operating amateur radio) but on other hand there is demand for it from small stations or from those who have everything – everywhere. Moreover I do not self spot on SSB because there is no internet in the shack.

When I call 10 minutes on anounced SSB frequencies and nobody answers I go to FT8 and pileup generates quickly…
