Topband: P.O.A.

[DXer]

Hi Paul,

Think about an eventual P5 activation, a mega one, with lots of ops.

The likelyhood that many of them will not have P5 already confirmed, is 
a real possibility. They will be there making a lot of people happy, but 
not adding that ATNO themselves, unless another ham operate from their 
home station. And P5 being what it is, another activation may take a few 
generations to happen again.

Another ham would operate his home station. This action of visiting ops operating stations of guys on DXpeditions continues to this day and contacts made like this should be and are considered to be completely valid. You should consider re-evaluating the contacts made by your good friend.
