One of my personal yardstick of the "goodness" of an expedition is NOT
the total number of QSOs made
as that depends entirely on the number of operators, stations and the
duration
but I like to look at the TOTAL QSOs made by the NUMBER of OPERATORS and
the NUMBER of DAYS taken into account

I think KQ8M's first comment in response to G7VJR's editorial is
on point. Clublog's "Leaderboards" should be modified to stop
counting at 11 "band slots." 11 (or 12 if the operation works
six meters) allows a station to work the operation on each band
plus pick up QSOs on CW, Digital, and voi
I don't really buy that argument. In the last days of a DXpedition,
they're usually begging.
Those who couldn't make a QSO probably couldn't make a QSO on a
completely clear band anyway. There is only so much you can work with
a dipole and 100 watts.
And finally, DXing is competitive.You can be
I disagree. The last day of the Yemen DXpediition was the first day I
heard them well here in Colorado. There were still lots of callers.
Fortunately, I didn't need it, so I never got into the pileups.
ARRL created this mess when they expanded DXCC to include individual
band awards. Ther

You obviously did not attempt to work 7O6T on RTTY. The Europeans
monopolized the few available RTTY band slots and even chased 7O6T
off RTTY many times in t
Someone has pointed out recently that for DXCC requirements, you could get
by with 9 QSO's which would cover 160 through 10 meters. You only need one
QSO each on CW, SSB and RTTY, so you could either fit them in amongst your
9 QSO's, or make a total of 11 QSO's to satisfy DXCC requirements.

I chase them across all bands/modes for the same reason that climbers climb
mountains; because they're there. I'm not going to interfere with anybody
else's business of working DX and I will resent anybody poking their nose
into mine. So long as everybody is operating legally I'm good with however
I was making such bands/modes tables filling them by hand long before the
computer era.
Still doing this for major DXpeditions and really surprised of the public
excitement of such a simple thing.
Will someone prohibit me to print this SSB/CW 160-10 form for the next
major operation?
NO.

DX Hogs will be DX Hogs no matter what. The idea is that they should
not be *encouraged or rewarded* for acting like DX Hogs but publishing
a *Leader Board* as if such behavior made the operator a *champion*.
I like the idea of replacing the Leaderboard matrix with a flat table
that shows each
