Sid, re "I call it "Mouse-click Radio" as that's 
all you have to do. At least you will hear (see?) 
activity.": Seems like the other challenge might 
be staying awake for the complete contact, on 
these warm Summer afternoons ;-)

I have only been on this mode since late in 2014  (been a ham since 1950) and I have worked over 100 DX entities.  {I started over when I took up digital.  New ones are still popping up.  Plenty of QSO's.  No rag-chewing of course !!!  Also, my DX spotter in DXLabd seems to keep rolling out spots all day--many on 20, both SSB and cw.  Try 14076.
