I was dead wrong.  It looks to me like it is pretty easy to use JTDX in automatic mode, where it automatically calls CQ after your last contact.

Sorry for whatever confusion I added.

Some of you may have seen the postings elsewhere that ARRL will no longer
admit fully automatic QSO's for contest and DXCC credit (CQ's and QSO
initiation are fully automatic, with no operator intervention). I am
guessing this primarily affects FT8 operation. I have not operated much FT8
but the operation I did was fully automatic. I am guessing there is a way
to set it to semi-automatic operation (a real operator initiates each CQ
and each QSO) (which is a valid QSO for those awards). And I don't know how
how they would tell. But the ruling stands.
