When I started DXing- (here comes the "when I was a kid, I had to walk 10 miles through 10 feet of snow to go to school." Nostalgia BS)- no one was even close to top 'o the roll. Now, it can be accomplished in a few years.
Heck, there were countries on the list that we were NOT ALLOWED to contact, e.g. U* and BY. What a challenge.
Now, shack-on-a-belt types can link through some group of capital letter technoconcept and get DXCC from his bedroom while recovering from the flu, send in the log via e-mail and have the Plaque in less than a week!
I think I will learn to crochet. Wanna doily?
Don't have to leave ham radio Dean. Plenty of other DX challenges if Top of DXCC Honor Roll is too easy for you now. How about 5BWAZ on SSB? Or WAZ on 160M? Just "pick your flavor" and make it as tough as you want.
