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

[Larry Burke]

I am fascinated by the enforceability argument. There are a number
unenforceable DXCC rules. And they JUST ADDED A NEW ONE in January ("For the
purpose of DXCC credit, all transmitters and receivers must be located
within a 500-meter diameter circle, excluding antennas"). At some point it
really does come down to honor. Some folks have it, some folks don't. 

The recent rules "tweaking" was accompanied by lots of words about ethics,
with little clarification of what that word means. While it seems simple,
many are equating "ethics" with "rules". They are not usually the same
thing.

Although I agree with many who have posted to this thread I will only say
this. 

The ARRL can not create a DXCC rule that they have no ability to enforce. 

Other than some He Said She Said that Joe Doe's signal was coming from the
wrong direction so he wasn't transmitting from his home station. Even then
who is to say that Joe Doe wasn't off visiting some ham buddy on the other
side of the country? Then it is legal under current rules. And no one
complains about that type of operation.
