The real elephant in the contest multiplier room is DXCC! If every tiny
politically-independent “entity” can be a separate DXCC (Mt Athos, Vatican,
Sovereign Military Order of Malta, etc.), then the hundreds of Native American
sovereign and independent tribes should be separate entities. How many are
there, you ask?…. 573!!
Thus spake Google…
“Tribal nations possess inherent sovereignty, meaning they have the right to
govern themselves and their members, manage their affairs, and develop their
own laws and governance structures. This inherent authority predates the United
States and is distinct from state or local governments.”
Whether they’ll require a special radio license is a question…perhaps a CW
test in which the text to be copied describes the genocidal history of American
policy toward them?
To paraphrase the old adage, “Go west, young ham.”
