There is no doubt that FT8 has divided the amateur community .
On the plus side every day my 2m QRP to a simple non-directional antenna is copied in EI and GI. FT8 has made this possible. At the same time there is less chatting, especially with modes that casual listeners will chance upon.
It is a bit like Marmite (a UK yeast spread) that some love and some hate.
I have mixed views. With my poor voice FT8 has been a godsend. At the same time I don't want less chatting on the bands.
