Topband: Fwd: ARRL Board meets next week - I'm looking for input

[Charles Cu nningham]

Hi, Mike

Well, I've been licensed and a DXer since February 1957.  In my opinion
remote stations and operations should NOT be acceptable for DXCC. Perhaps a
special NEW DXCC could be established for those operations Most of us over
the decades have worked diligently so improve our stations and antennas
within the bounds available to us!  To have to compete with remote Super
Stations that are sited to provide significant advantages on certain DX
paths or bands REALLY spoils it for oo many of us, and establishes is as a
"Sport for the Rich" like so many other things in our society!  I am opposed
to offering conventional "DXCC" credit for remote operations!

73,
Charlie, K4OTV

FYI, now's your chance to speak up if you haven't already.  Please e-mail
N2YBB or other ARRL board members directly with any questions or comments.
Not looking to rehash things here on the reflector.

Hello,

Next week, the Board of Directors will be holding their second meeting of
the year.  One of the topics up for discussion is the recent change in DXCC
rules, particularly as to the use of remote operations for DXCC credit.

I would be interested in knowing what you, the ARRL member, feel about the
rules for DXCC.  In particular, I would like to know what your opinion is
regarding crediting (for awards) DX contacts made by remote control
operations, be they through self owned or rented stations.

I would be also be interested in your experiences if you have operated
remotely in chasing DX for DXCC credit.

If you have any other items of interest, please also let me know.

Thank you.
