Hi All
While digital has many advantages it is not without its downside. It can readily remove the human element in communications. The FT8 Bot is an example of this.
If type of operating becomes widespread it will be detrimental to Ham Radio in the long run in my view. It enables you to leave your radio running logging QSOs for you to view (if you get around to doing it) when you return from doing some other activity like say even fishing.
Not quite Ham Radio as I understand it but maybe I am a bit behind the times and too old fashioned.
