Topband: DXCC Program Integrity

[Herbert Schoenbohm]

Maybe so Anthony but I distinctly recall attending a a IARU Region 2 
conference some years ago in Ocho Rios, Jamaica and I was amazed at how 
many people from HQ along with their wives or partners that were booked 
in the 5 Star hotel where the conference was being held.  It was almost 
like HQ was left with just the clerical staff. Some members of the ARRL 
travel often and to "far away places with strange sounding names." 
Considering that there is an ARRL booth at every major and many minor 
ham-fests and that there is one every couple of weeks, there can be 
little doubt that league personnel do very well in frequent flyer miles 
and don't lodge at a Motel "6" during the event.  Since the ARRL has a 
"DXCC Desk" as they call it, I wonder if they have a "travel desk" as well.
