And there was a school of thought that strongly suggested starting everyone over on 1 Jan 2000 with a clean slate, and along with that, a refreshed list of countries (we hadn't switched to calling them entities yet... I think) And please, no brickbats, I was NOT a member of that small but vocal group that thought this! But, just for fits and giggles... imagine doing just that. Convince some other group to sponsor a DXCC-like award, for contacts starting 1 Jan 2000 (even though the 21st century actually started 1 Jan 2001, but let's not go into THAT one again either), and for this hypothetical award -- call it DX 21 for the sake of argument -- issue a new list of entities, based on the current DXCC active list (forget the deleteds), but applying current criteria to each and every one of them, plus evaluating other possibile ones that have been eliminated under recent rules changes. Many won't survive. BS7H certainly wouldn't. What about Scotland, Wales, and the rest of the non-England parts of the UK? Desecheo? Navassa? Sable? Ducie? What about the special cases: The Spratley's? Do you keep the UN Hq? If so, what about the Council of Europe HQ? The Vatican? SMOM? ITU Hq? How about the UN Vienna? I could go on, but you get my drift. Either way for many of these, stay or go... at least apply the new DX 21 rules consistently. How will this affect DX chasing? To say nothing of little discussions like this thread... I can understand all too well why no one wanted to undertake the controversy that a change like this would have entailed.

Believe me you don't want to remove anything off the DXCC list, unless it does not meet the criteria. I don't think there's a solution to this that will please everybody. I'd personally like to see the rules overhauled completely at some point down the road, but how that could be accomplished I really don't know. I'm not in favour of creating new ones by rule changes, nor deleting/removing old ones by fiat either, but the mish-mash that exists now is somewhat bizarre and could use a revamp at some point. I'm definitely not in favour of mollycoddling DXers and DXpeditioners by removing tough- or dangerous-to-activate entities just because they're tough or dangerous to activate.

RE: [DX-CHAT] BS7H thoughts
HS0ZCW, who sometimes operates as K4VUD said Maybe it is time to re-think the DXCC status of this place? This would set a terrible precedence! We must follow the DXCC rules otherwise we will destroy the very fabric of the integrity of the DXCC program. If we do as Charles suggests for BS7H what will be next? This is a slippery slope. Anyone could then make the same case for many other counters on the DXCC list. I won't give examples but one could easily list many more countries for their own personal reasons. We have gone down this road many times over the years. So there is no need to repeat this thread. There is one and only one way for a DXCC Entity (country) to be removed from the DXCC list. Notice I said removed! I don't think many people realize the next country that does not meet the DXCC criteria will be removed, not deleted, as there will be no more deletes because of the results of DXCC 2000. That's right a removal, which will be as if you never worked it! More on that discussion later. Back to the one and only way to remove a current counter from the DXCC list. The only way is if the said entity no longer meets the criteria in which put it on the list to begin with. Rules that are made up afterwards do not affect its status. Remember BS7H was added to the list back in the mid 90s. Then afterwards in an effort to not have any others added to the list like Scarborough Reef the 100 meter high tide rule was added. Believe me you don't want to remove anything off the DXCC list, unless it does not meet the criteria. I wonder how many have actually read the DXCC rules? http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html Notice I said read them, not understood them all! Some are hard to understand, but then again so are some of the counters on the list! See you in the next pileup?

But today I read the web sites, saw the photos, and listened to James' super interview while on site. I come away of two minds... one with great appreciation and awe at the accomplishment and second with a deeper understanding of how truly dangerous this op was. Of course, I congratulate all who make this happen and especially to men who were willing genuinely to risk their lives to do the op. Let nothing take away from that. However, I have to ask if this set of rocks is worth the risks? I know mountain climbers die in their efforts and there are many other very dangerous sport activities, but should we as a hobby sanction placing our fellow hams into a place where the slightest bad weather, lightning strike, or just a nasty fall would have been an easy-to-happen disaster. How would we feel as hams if the worst had happened there? How much should we depend on LUCK? I think anyone can go where ever they please, but not with the sanction and official stamp of our great avocation. Maybe it is time to re-think the DXCC status of this place?

Kellogg's spokesperson commented that they were proud to have been selected by the government to be the issuer of licenses for amateur radio in the US and hope to soon make an agreement with other cereal loving countries.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Timor Leste
The start date for 4W - East Timor (UNTAET) now Timor Leste was March 1, 2000. QSOs after that date with 4W all count as the same. They changed the name of the country after the UN turned the country back over to the Timor people. Ron is right there was a period of time when at least one 4W station was QRV for a short period of time and did not get the new license from the Timor authorities. I think those dates were May 20, 2002 until mid May 2003. Could have been May 16, 2003, but not sure. Their independence was October 27, 2002.

Contacts made during the UN administration of East Timor/Timor Leste count the same, for DXCC purposes, as contacts made under the current administration, since they are the same entity. However, there is a small gotcha. There was a short period of time when certain stations, who had been licensed under UN authority, continued to operate without benefit of a new ticket from the current government. (I worked 4W6MM in the IARU contest during this time period). There was a question at the time as to whether or not QSO's made during that interval would be counted, under the theory that the UN tickets automatically expired when the reigns of government were handed over. I do not know if this question was ever resolved, so if you worked someone during the, shall we say, transition, then you may want to verify with the DXCC desk the potential validity of the card prior to submission.

Please see story below from ARRL. DX still king for 90-year-old radio amateur (Mar 2, 2006) -- Veteran DXer and contester John Thompson, W1BIH, has been largely out of the game since disposing of his tower, antennas and linear and moving into a retirement community in Massachusetts last year. But the DXCC Honor Roll member held onto his transceiver and his desire to work the few rare ones he lacked. When the 3Y0X Peter I DXpedition got under way in February, Don Greenbaum, N1DG, did his older friend a good turn by taking Thompson to his station February 9 for a crack at 3Y0X. During the last two Peter I Island DXpeditions, Thompson was at his winter home, PJ9JT, so Peter I has been among his most wanted. It only took about 30 minutes for W1BIH to make himself heard through the fray on 15-meter SSB and exchange reports. We got him! Thompson exclaimed seconds after the quick QSO. Greenbaum captured the occasion on video. Once confirmed and submitted to DXCC, the 3Y0X QSO will elevate W1BIH into a tie for second place in the DXCC standings at 390 entities--including deleted entities--or 335 current entities. DXCC Manager Bill Moore, NC1L, says Thompson currently is in third position mixed at 389 QSOs, and two operators are tied at 391 Nothing great is ever achieved without enthusiasm.- Ralph Waldo Emerson.

RE: [DX-CHAT] Logbook of World
WB8RFB said If there is any way to encourage more DX stations to sign up and submit their logs, I'm all for it. Perhaps some kind of incentive offered by the League??? The ARRL announced LOTW is now working for Worked All States (see http://www.arrl.org/ ). This will help with more DX stations John!

RE: [DX-CHAT] Logbook of World
N7EF Donald M. Anderson Kent, Washington No seriously I think this will get more DXers involved. Many overseas stations will now be able to get their WAS awards thus more DX stations for those of us chasing DX and using LOTW. Another way to encourage more DX participation would be for the League to maybe sponsor some kind of yearly competition. Maybe giving awards to this station working the most DXCC Countries and getting them confirmed on LOTW in a one year period. Surely there must be other ways to encourage more overseas DXers to participate? Any ideas? By the way I suspect there are more contesters using LOTW that actual DXers. I think the main reason for that is they are all using computers and computer logs and it is so easy for them to submit their log to the contest sponsor and then to LOTW. Whereas some of the old time serious DXers are not using computer logs. It would be interesting to take a look at the age of those using LOTW vs those not. My guess is it would show the younger (HA) guys are using computer logging and the older ones are not. Unfortunately Im afraid it would take a lot of work to back this theory up. Anyway I suspect as time goes on more and more people will start using LOTW. The real question is what can be done to speed up the process? Any positive suggestions? 73 Bernie Bernie McClenny, W3UR Now more than ever - you need The Daily DX and The Weekly DX - to keep up with the DX news from around the globe!

He was giving them away one by one to anyone who worked the DXpedition, to attach to their QSL cards. Like a fool, I pased up the opportunity.

Absolutely. Many I believe. Our FCC is in the minority of communications authorities which legally control where amateurs can transmit each mode. In many countries it's a matter of custom and self-policing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think SSB is legal in the UK on 30M for example. John, NT5C.
