But if you are still here, let’s talk a little bit about what’s going on in ham radio right now and how it relates to the FT8 question. If you already have an opinion, you have probably already raced down to the comments to share your thoughts. I’ll be honest, I think what we are seeing is a transformation of ham radio and like most transformations, it is probably both killing parts of ham radio and saving others. But ham operator has an excellent blog post about how he thinks FT8 is going to save ham radio instead. Is FT8, a new digital technology, poised to kill off ham radio? The community seems evenly divided. In an online poll, 52% of people responding says FT8 is damaging ham radio. It is popular to blame new technology for killing things.
