Patience, gents! The subject of online confirmation of DXCC is already
under study. At this year's Visalia DX Convention it was announced that
the YASME Foundation has agreed to fund a study for ARRL of how such
confirmations can be made absolutely tamper-proof. This is the only issue,
really. So far nobody has been able to come up with a system -- PGP
included -- that K5FUV hasn't been able to alter sample submissions with.
The study continues...

As usual we'll be doing our multi multi effort in the RAC Winter Contest-
hope to work you on many bands, both modes. As before, we will listen up
on 40 for stateside, even though very few contacts are actually made this
way - 4400 Q's last year and only 10 stateside on 40m SSB are the actual
numbers. However I know some of you take this contest seriously and we
want to make the VE6 mult available to all.
We will also be making a special effort for those of you participating in
the Stew Perry 160 meter contest. Since the contests partially overlap,
we'll give you the grid square, but we'll need a a QSO number for the RAC
test in addition to the grid square for the Stew Perry. Our 160 op (Dan,
VE6EX) will be doing a single op effort in this plus doing the RAC (both
CW and SSB) at the same time.
