[HCDX] Is Computer Logging DX?

Radio New Zealand International have recently received a Reception report requesting a QSL from an Internet logging on a Pentium 4 Computer.
It raises some interesting points on whether logging a station is really DX and worth a QSL?

Any genuine feedback or comment will be passed on to Radio NZ International


Hi Mark

RNZI has received this reception report requesting a QSL. As you will see
the receiver was a Pentium 4 1.7 ghz. computer - I had a chuckle about it,
but the guy is quite serious. I would be interested to know from the amateur
community what they think?

My view is a QSL card was intended to acknowledge the expertise of an
operator of a short-wave radio in hearing a distant station. Surely clicking
on a URL does not count??????!!

Some may call me old fashioned, but I would appreciate feed-back on this
issue!

Cheers

Adrian
