REPLY:

Yes and no. Top of the Honor Roll is doable on RTTY, on other digital modes it
would be far more difficult. If someone has the persistence and dedication to
achieve it with PSK or MFSK or something else, shouldn't they be able to receive
a certificate that says so?

If you take away the goal of that special certificate, you diminish the interest
and activity of those who wish to pursue it. Is that good for Amateur Radio?
