    How ruin it?
    FT8 uses a couple of KHz around 144.174MHz it is hardly stopping anyone
    using the remaining 2 MHz.

    FT8 and JS8 users use a 200Hz wide band in a fixed, narrow bandwidth,
    it's not like they are shouting out all over the band.

    what if everybody does it...except me....?
