Hi Andy Hi All
Absolutely simple and correct.
Why don't ARRL leaders understand this?
It is not possible to equate the results of a robot operator with the
results of a human operator.
For FT8, there should only be a separate category for DXCC.

In my humble opinion, FT8 should have nothing to do with the
competitors of
DXCC Mix, CW, SSB or RTTY. RTTY emission was killed in short
wavelengths,
expeditions in the increasing percentage use FT8 as the basic emission
and
this is not due to the lack of propagation. I think, the issue of FT8
should
be treated as a separate competition not included in DXCC Mix, CW, SSB
and
digital. Then we can talk about competition. Otherwise, it loses the
value
of DXCC from before FT8. The discussions on this list about receiving
antennas, the fight against QRM, etc. will end.

Hi Topbanders !
Everything is easy to fix.
There should be a strict separation of achievements -
1. They are made only by man.
2. They are made only on the computer.
Delete Mixed Achievement Chart :
http://www.arrl.org/system/dxcc/view/DXCC-160M-20190731-A4.pdf#page=1&zoom=a
uto,-12,848
And then FT8 (and many future FTs ....) will lose popularity.
Only children will play with them ...

If we CW operators would all stay on a very tight frequency passband
and call CQ every 15 seconds I bet there would be a lot of interesting
things happening to us also. Especially if we do it 24/7 or at least
every hour that we are not asleep.
However, PC-automation has it's advantages, some are at work while
working DX and others are gardening. Some even sit by the radio/PC and
watch things happen :-)
Bottom line is, we need to activate our transmitters more and not just
listen for others. A perfect example is Bill KH7XS who opens up almost
any seemingly "dead" band to Europe, at any time, just by calling CQ
for a while.
CW is not only great fun as you say Dave, CW is King!
