I love FT8, but I think Cliff would probably find it a bit boring. It's too automated, it's basically computers talking to each other.

To an introvert like myself, it's cool. I love seeing how far I can get (with my 40m Z-dipole mounted in my single story attic -- i.e. too low, and hiding inside a building -- I've gone 5150 miles on 10 watts).

But it doesn't offer the challenges (and rewards) as CW, or even SSB phone.
