This from the rules:
d) Digital: Contacts can include QSOs using any/all digital modes, in any
combination (except CW) since November 15, 1945. Digital modes include RTTY,
PSK-31, JT65, etc. and any modes that are only machine-readable, and any that
use computer sound card technology, with the exception of digital voice, which
counts for Phone.
