Re: [HCDX] Is Computer Logging DX?
Possibly it was a novice SWL'er using something Like a TenTec RX 320, driven
by a computer, naively thinking that the computer was the receiver
;>)

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
