That's what macros are for! As others have said, it's easier to work
them all on a few contest weekends (or one, if you have the station).
QSLing is definitely the hard part. It's hit-or-miss. Sometimes you
get your card back in a week or 2, sometimes never (that's with SASEs,
thanks, and in some cases email requests as well) - very rude.
The WAS certificate is marked Digital now, but at the bottom, it's
marked "RTTY #nnn", RTTY being the only digital sub-award that is
numbered.
If you ask me, and no one did, the ARRL could put a little more effort
into creation of the WAS award certificate. It's bad enough they went
to a "portrait" format, but they could at least be consistent about
where the put numbers, endorsements, etc. For the $10 it costs, you'd
think they could do a nicer job.
