If DXCC is destroyed there sure are a ton of people that failed to get
that message.
The ARRL is in the business
of......................................selling awards..................
The Centennial QSO party was pure marketing genius. How many people got
involved to buy another award........

Engine on a sail boat, Cessna vs. glider, biker vs. runner and
"competing" in the same category. (According to ham radio "logic")
DXCC was destroyed by lists and nets waaaay baaaack.
Now contesting, results, record tables are being destroyed by
Internet, remotes and rentastations.
ARRL is just like another dumb gummit bureaucracy. See the
"recognition" of Russian occupation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.
Thousands of dead freedom loving Ukrainians, not even UN and US State
Dept. matter. What you expect? Maybe tax on rentastation rental fee,
or per QSO? Welcome to Ham Radio Commerce!
I lost appetite for playing with competitive radios. Thanks to Ham
Radio for great old times, learning and building stations, getting me
out of commie hell, influence in my career and many great friends I made.
Tony Soprano was right: "Fuggetaboutit"! Good luck to further
perversion of our beloved hobby/sport.
I might try to 'splain more to those who don't get it, but wonder if
it will do any good.
I am getting back to photo/video. Technology there is allowing some
amazing things, UHD, 3D, VR, drones.
73 Yuri,
K3BU.us, VE3BMV etc.

understand them correctly:
1. Another ham can operate my station, using my call, and the
contacts count
towards my DXCC.
2. I can go to his station, sign my call, and the contacts count
towards my DXCC.
So...the station doesn't matter and the operator doesn't matter. What
the heck
matters anymore?
73, Roger
