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

[uy0zg]

Hi Topbanders

Guy K2AV - Lots of philosophy ...

ARRL has a program:

http://www.arrl.org/system/dxcc/view/DXCC-160M-20190624-A4.pdf#page=1&zoom=auto,-12,848

ARRL is obliged to protect this program!

But ARRL does not do this ...


This rating has lost its value today.

Unfortunately...
