It’s an easy problem to solve. Just change every country with districts into multiple DXCC entities. WØ-W9. Ten new countries. VE1, VE2, VK1 etc. Move to another “country,” start all over. And restart DXCC by band and mode from scratch. No grandfathered credits. How about on April 1, 2016? If you move from Phoenix to Seattle you keep your credits. Move a few hundred miles West to LA, too bad. From Pittsburgh to Cleveland, no dice. Great fun. Think of the possibilities. The pile ups, scheds, getting up in the wee hours of the night all over again just for an “ATNO.” Think of the money that could be raised to fund DXpeditions to re-activate wet rocks or islands with no indigenous population.

Now look in the mirror and ask yourself if your DXCC totals prove anything other than how old you are.
