It has been floated before, but there are two major issues: 1) DX 
stations have no category status in June or September. They can be 
worked for points, but their scores are not acknowledged or posted by 
the ARRL (Canada gets treated like states....hmmm) 2) Cost. If you think 
you have trouble getting op's to spend the time and money to go to the 
mountain...

I'm all for it as a two or more of us going, while the remainder stay 
here. I just can't see using the W4NH call for the operation if there is 
no score posted.

When do we leave?
