If Tony is bitten by enough mesquitos, gets seasick, or a if he gets a 2nd
degree sunburn while installing antennas then his operation should count
as a DXpedition. Motion sickness induced by reading a CQ publication
in the backseat of the car while someone is driving you to the operating
site counts towards the seasickness requirement and eating cold SPAM
right from the can with a pocket knife during the contest period can be
substituted in lieu of the 2nd degree sunburn.
