Hi, DXers All...
Here's my take on it. And I have had a GREAT response following
this protocol. Gets in the area of dups as well. Will use Chuck's
recent Bouvet efforts as an example.
1) I will work dups, ONCE.
2) Will confirm both.
3) Will send a $2 bill for EACH of the two.
Then I quit and move out of the way so that others can work him
as well. My responses have been nothing short of miraculous.
My philosophy---If the recipient notes the $2 on each, s/he will
have a very warm feeling that it was a valid contact, and
that I am not playing games. Seems to wash over any possibilities
of a "not in log" error...
After all, other than looking in the mirror, who should it really
bother either way?
Of course, for the purists and the malcontents, this may not be
the appropriate course of action. Hey, it's for me to me, and
I don't care what they think. Doesn't affect anything other
than my own personal satisfaction.
Now just a few more for Honor Roll. Given that, I do hope some are
considering some DXpeditions to a few rare ones. And if I don't
get 'em, well I don't sweat the small stuff. And despite what
some might think, there are aspects of ham radio that are small
stuff in the big arena of things.
Just a bit of philosophy that serves one well in the day to day
machinations of life.
Good health, and great DX.
