Topband: Fwd: ARRL DXCC - 160 Meters OK1YQ (OK1RD) Legitimacy???!!!

[Wayne]

Hmmm,

That fact is that there isn't much [Topband] expertise left in 
Newington. I asked a casual question a month or so ago about OK1RD, 
etc., and was assured that an investigation was conducted. However, I am 
open to /*data*/: If you have specific examples that are questionable - 
like C21XF, which is very easy to deal with, send me the data, and I 
will personally investigate.

What I see /*here*/ isn't much more than conjecture.

Doesn't the Board take notice of matters such as this any more? It's an embarrassment for which all involved should be ashamed.
