FT8 - WSPR - CW/SSB/FM - Logging

 Been busy with FT8 but am starting to drift back to CW especially for DX.    I am now using a separate log and the call sign VA3IMI for FT8 and any other digital modes I venture into.   Using VE3LDP for my CW, SSB and FM contacts.

 FT8 is cool ... instant signal reports from around the globe ,  what more can I say!   The hobby has always been a combination of putting things together then seeing how it works.  FT8 and WSPR are really cool for establishing the technical side of the hobby but it does lack on the " Social " side of things.   There is nothing quite like pulling that CW signal out of the noise and getting a response back!   Anyhow going forward FT8 has its place in particular remote operating!   

 Did a few hour 5 Watt WSPR on 40m last eve running into my 1/4 Vert / 8 Radials at the top of the hill.  There were 105 unique spots  NA, SA, Europe, Africa and Antartica. I was heard by the following stations .......
