Why do you care how I get DXCC? It is my award. I am not competing
against you for DXCC. I can choose to include or exclude any contact I
want for DXCC. These awards are individual. The only reason people
whine about these other modes as it lets more people into the honor
roll which is a good thing for the ARRL who is in the business of
selling awards.
I have never figured out why my contacts made with FT8, JT65, RTTY or
whatever mode should not count but every contact made by some guy using
5kw or more is no problem or people using remote xmitters and receivers.
There is nothing pure about DXCC. Never was never will.

A separate digital dxcc for FT8/JT65 should make it.These contacts no good
for the other band/CW/SSB/Mixed awards. Just a separate one.
BUT the official at arrl refused to even think of it. Very unpleasant answer
from him.
Kind regards

There was no thrill in the first FT8 contact I made like the one I received when I
worked W1BB using a Central Electronics 20A and a homebrew amp using 4 6AG7 tubes in
grounded grid and an inverted " L " only 40 feet up.
Yes I'm an old geezer, be 90 in December and think there should be a separate
digital DXCC. Only my openion.
