I guess digital is OK, but -- nothing can match the satisfaction of unkeying the PTT on an Astatic stand mic and logging (using a pencil!) a DX QSO.
I can't always do that, but I know of one way to become as popular as DX on a mostly domestic net that shall remain nameless.? For now. ?
When my QDX arrives, I'll try a few of the digital modes.? Somebody please tell me -- has the ARRL separated out digital modes from the old CW / Phone awards like WAS, DXCC, etc.?? That makes digital a different paper to chase, and no less valid.

FT8 is amazing when you first see all the DX activity and you realize that DXCC is within your grasp even with a compromised antenna system (much to the chagrin of some hams at least in my local club!).?
