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.”
