Guys and Gals the ARRL issued their answer to this in 2011. Yes that is when the RTTY DXCC award had its name changed to DIGITAL. Beginning in July of 2011 No more issuing of RTTTY awards. They are called Digital from that date forward. In their ruling the ARRL said any new technology digital would be included. At that time I think all they had was PSK31 and maybe some early form of WSJT?
Today you can get a DXCC award for Mixed, Phone, CW, Digital or Satelitte. And yes they also issue single band awards. ARRL Board voted and ruled in 2011 that ALL forms of digital would be just that called Digital. Put me in the group who of those who arrived kicking, screaming and being drug from Tubes to Solid state. From AM to SSB. From Analog to Digital. It is called advancements in technology. I still dislike cellphones. But I use them. And also all other forms of Ham Radio.
