Topband: A way forward to keep 'old school' modes vibrant alongside FT-8? (long)

[Dale Putnam]

Hi Nick,

  Not necessarily  needed retraction. Not at all..

It seems to me that a solely one more or other.. is called for, also,

a mixed mode, already in place, with any or all of a mix of modes.

These are all digi modes that I am speaking of.

Pretty much the same as "phone" awards.. doesn't care if it is FM voice, SSB voice, or AM voice.

Neither would the "digi" award.. but the difference would be noted with a single mode cert.


Have a great day,

I just have one question about your suggestion about creating a "new" digi
DXCC award and excluding JT/FT modes from mixed. Are those people (myself
included) who have applied JT/FT credit to their Mixed award and received
it as such going to have to mail the certificate back to the League and
have the award retracted? It will be difficult to retroactively create a
"new" award without including every mode in mixed, which by definition is
mixed. Creating a "Mixed but without JT/FT modes" DXCC is getting into the
splitting hairs and logistics nightmare ballpark.

PS. I am also one of the <30 crowd.
