  But the AM/CW/SSB crowd actually communicated, unlike this FT8 scripted computer software “handshake”.

The “Other” Hobbies
Seems my "Ham Radio" hobby has really changed since 2017. DXing has become nothing more than lazy, brainless, automated, remote computer scripted text messaging anymore.
DXing
Somebody let the air out of the Ham Radio balloon 'round here. Coming on the heels of Bouvet 3Y0K & Desecheo, KP5/NP3VI "DXing" has fallen off a cliff
3Y0L Peter I Island 2027
3Y0L Peter I Island 2027. As we just witnessed with the HUGE Bouvet 3Y0K Pileups, real DXing is for the deserving. Are you ready for some DX?
The Lazy Way, FT8
The Lazy Way, FT8. It struck me today while hunting XX9W and S21WD, DXing today is a ghost of what it used to be. Other than the recent 3Y0K Bouvet DX
3Y0K 10 Meters CW
3Y0K 10 Meters CW. Well that was a surprise! For the past week or so the CW & SSB 10 Meter openings to Bouvet Island were pretty weak starting around
3Y0K 80M CW
3Y0K 80M CW. Boy oh boy oh boy. QRM can make you mad. Intentional or not. Just after 3Y0K's sunrise this evening, they came out of the mud on 80 CW nicely.
3Y0K 20M Longpath Signal
3Y0K 20M Longpath Signal. What a signal from 3Y0K on Bouvet via the Longpath this morning! After this SSB recording he only got stronger! N0UN working 3Y0K 20M SSB
3Y0K 40M CW = Hard Work
I started another recording now 30 minutes after their sunrise (0540Z) and 3Y0K is much, MUCH stronger. IF I knew they would get this loud I would've waited to call.
CQ DX!
I read news 3Y0K Bouvet may (or may not) be on the air so I figured what the heck, I'll point my antenna over Asia and call CQ DX. 9N1CA and XV9R called in!
ON BOUVET!
In the afternoon, when the weather improved, we began flying supplies and personnel onshore. The first test flight took off at 17:02, and we continued with two more passengers and three more cargo round trips...

N0UN FT-Hater Fan Club
N0UN FT-Hater Fan Club. Judging by numerous N0UN CW & FT8 duplicate Q's over the last 10 days in the KP5/NP3VI log, I'd say the N0UN FT-Hater Club is hard at it
