Into the breach....

As an HF DXer of the old school I see these exotic modes  differently. 
I have no problem with RTTY, PSK or some of the other digital modes. 
What I see as not  right is when only the PC  hears the signal. If  it's 
a zillion DB below the human ear copying but the PC is decoding it I 
think that's not a QSO. If only the PCs are copying each  other is that 
a QSO? Why even  be in the shack? Just set software to detect a signal & 
reply. When you physically enter the radio room  your PC can tell you 
what 'you' worked.
This is ONLY my opinion. Don't go  off if you disagree. We all see 
things differently. I'm not saying  you  are wrong. We just see things 
in  a different  way.

Good DX
