If it's an exotic location, I can understand the excitement.
However, when new DXCC entities are created out of relatively
common, easy to work entities, due to political changes (YU, PJ,
etc.) I view it as more of a pain in the a** having to work them and
collect QSLs to maintain my position on the Honor Roll.
What's your view?
PITA, yes, but when you're bored silly and 5 or 6 new entities all
come on at once (i.e. a year from now in the Caribbean), it will make
for some Hot Times on the Old Bands. Personally, I love busting
pileups so it'll be fun for me, especially if I can get all of them
on 9 bands/3 modes in as short a time as possible. I'm also hoping to
travel down for a first-activation of one of these, something that
just wouldn't be possible to some far-flung island at the end of nowhere.
