The leaderboard thing isn't all that bad *IF* the DX wants to allow it and encourages it. If you're running an operation like HK0NA, 7O6T or T32C -- big, loud and there for a long time, I don't see the harm in it. Some operations are looking for a new DXpedition record. On the other hand, a couple of guys on rocks off the Brazilian coast may not want that level of activity. But it's up to the DXpedition leaders to set forth the goals and communicate them to the world before and during the operation.
I'm a big greenie-hunter. I like fighting pileups and I'm glad the Clublog structure is there. But with that said, I *do* see the downsides and I would implore both Clublog and DXpedition leaders to come up with a way to show contacts but not a full matrix if that's the wish of a DXpedition. If I had a say in a big DXpedition, I'd welcome all comers on all bands, but if It was just me and a couple of buddies heading off to a less-common entity in the Pacific or Asia, I wouldn't want that same goal. ---------------------------------------------------- Regards, Peter Dougherty, W2IRT www.facebook.com/W2IRT Barry wrote: B> The other big factor is the "need" for so many to work every B> band-mode combination.

Not only that but even working EVERY DXpedition on EVERY slot. Thats what the Clublog is provoking with its "leaderboard", thats why I call it evil. -- R8TX (ex RX9TX) http://r8tx.qrz.ru ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
