New Sub RX

Wow interesting post Bill! Outside of contests I have not chased DX in
decades and I was not aware how high tech it has become.

Get CW Skimmer and enable its "599" function.  You don't even need to listen
to the pileup since you can watch for the last "599" in the spectrum display
and move your TX there.  Here's a macro I wrote in 2011 with details:

Indeed!  It's now possible to work DX you cannot hear with WSJT-FT8 and use
Remote Ham Radio to use massive stations anywhere in the US (or world for
that matter) from your easy chair.  But I still get my thrills from working
weak DX on 160 that I hear with my ears (like VU2BGS last night who runs
140W to a 10 meter high vertical!).

And I get my thrills from achieving DXCC from a single location, not
multiple locations thousands of miles apart. I started over at age 62
when I moved from Chicago to California.

For every DX with a  short vertical on 160m there is someone else with 4
square.
I heard Bill as ZL/NO9E on 160m last month with $599 FT-891 and he was loud!  

Ignacy, NO9E
