[Dxbase] DXbase and the Digital DXCC award

[Joe WA6AXE]

See in a very recent DX Bulletin the following talking about RTTY and Digital Modes:

//quote//

DXCC DIGITAL AWARD ---> In accordance with Minute 29 of the July  2011  ARRL
Board of Directors meeting, the DXCC  award  for  RTTY  is  now  changed  to
Digital. Digital will now replace RTTY on these  certificates  effective  25
July 2011. [TNX NC1L]

Looks like with DXbase having the option to combine RTTY and Digital Modes is
now going to be very nice -- since the RTTY DXCC Award is now known as the

Digital DXCC Award 


Info from the ARRL website DXCC "rules" (about the Digital Award) is:

d) Digital: Contacts can include QSOs using any/all digital 
modes, in any combination (except CW) since November 15, 1945.   
Digital
 modes include RTTY, PSK-31, JT65, etc. and any modes that are only 
machine-readable, and any that use computer 
sound card technology, with 
the exception of digital voice, which counts for Phone. 



Just FYI
