Hi Fred,

I spent a lot of time with FT8 yesterday in CQ VHF, and found it to be
pretty fast paced. I'd say the rate was at least as good as QRP SSB
during a DX contest! I made 47 QSOs yesterday, only one on SSB, none on
CW. The FT8 window was jumping as long as the band was open, and I'd
guess that at least half of the QSOs would not have been possible on
SSB, and many not on CW. And I picked up four new grids.
