Hi Dale, My comments were more aimed at the "let's separate FT/JT modes into their own separate DXCC category and disqualify them from Mixed" sentiment. I have no problem with the per mode style DXCC awards. I just wanted to point out that someone can't retroactively change the definition of Mixed because they don't like a specific mode being in there. I guess I wasn't as clear as I could have been in my phrasing.
