Topband: DXCC etc

[Yuri Blanarovich]

What matters? Technology.
 
Engine on a sail boat, Cessna vs. glider, biker vs. runner and 
"competing" in the same category. (According to ham radio "logic")

DXCC was destroyed by lists and nets waaaay baaaack.

Now contesting, results, record tables are being destroyed by Internet, 
remotes and rentastations.
 
ARRL is just like another dumb gummit bureaucracy. See the "recognition" 
of Russian occupation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. Thousands of dead 
freedom loving Ukrainians, not even UN and US State Dept. matter. What 
you expect? Maybe tax on rentastation rental fee, or per QSO? Welcome to 
Ham Radio Commerce!

I lost appetite for playing with competitive radios. Thanks to Ham Radio 
for great old times, learning and building stations, getting me out of 
commie hell, influence in my career and many great friends I made.

Tony Soprano was right: "Fuggetaboutit"! Good luck to further perversion 
of our beloved hobby/sport.
I might try to 'splain more to those who don't get it, but wonder if it 
will do any good.

I am getting back to photo/video. Technology there is allowing some 
amazing things, UHD, 3D, VR, drones.

73 Yuri,
K3BU.us, VE3BMV etc.
