You know -- In these days with the technology available -I see no
real reason why ARRL DXCC should not allow valid DXCC contacts from a

anymore . Its not like someone claiming to be somewhere they really
are not as in the past.
I hope nobody is lost in this mess.
(Last night I listened to 30M for hours and at 0751 they were really
strong but guess what "3Y0J JA up " three times and they never worked
a JA and quit -I was thinking they would say 3Y0J up and take off the
JA like most but they apparently quit. Oh well.(Of course it could
have been a pirate - the ND7K RBN out in Wickenburg had them same
time . )
Bouvet would be a great candidate for AA7JV's Radio In A Box. And as
remote as they are, and as lightweight as they are (100W, very limited
antenna), they ought to be doing only CW and FT8. Thiery did a great
job lighting up Crozet with similar limitations with FT8 -- in
addition to its signal-to-noise advantages, there were no cops!
