[50mhz] Here goes

Which is why the software does not make the entire exchange itself, human involvement is required. You say RTTY is ok, can you copy RTTY without some kind of emulator? The computer still does the bulk of the work.
I agree, the line between the operator and the machine is getting very fuzzy but it is a little late to try to separate those that do from those that don't.

The EME community has been living  with this issue for 10+ years  now.  
Some people choose to work only CW, some (the non-CW ops) only JT65,  and some 
use both.  From time to time the suggestion comes up to put JT65  QSOs in a 
separate category, but so far it hasn't happened.  Let the  discussion 
continue...

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
