But in reality everything is much more complicated. We talked here in
the reflector and went our separate ways..
For example, someone on this list honestly earned 300 countries :
http://www.arrl.org/system/dxcc/view/DXCC-160M-20240206-USLetter.pdf
He's been working on this for decades. And suddenly some completely
unfamiliar and envious mug without RX antennas (and maybe without a
station at all) declares 320...
Calling it simply injustice is not enough...

I knew it was all over many years ago when I worked a 20dB/9 Italian
station
around Sunrise here in one 160m contest. (1pm in Italy)
I have never applied for DXCC. I know what I worked and keep track of
it
here locally. I am the only person who really
cares what all the numbers are and since the ARRL DXCC program has
(imo)
become so watered down in the last couple decades there is little
reason to
ever apply.
Be happy with who you see in the mirror every morning and celebrate
those
around you who are doing it the way that appeals to you. For those
that
aren't.well, don't concern yourself with them. They don't diminish
what
you've done.
