RE: [DX-CHAT] "Country" definition ...
Under the current rules, collections of rocks will no longer meet the minimum geographic requirements to become a DXCC entity. And certain entities that got on the list under "Special Administrative Area" type rules, like Mt. Athos, will also no longer get on the list. Let's keep that in perspective. Every time the subject comes up, some of these old chestnuts come up with it... but without the caveat that while they happened once, under criteria no longer in effect; they won't happen under the current DXCC 2000 criteria. To remove this potentially questionable-under-current-criteria entities opens up a whole 'nother can of worms. Let's just accept that many entities got "Grandfathered" in under criteria that would not pass muster today, and try to ensure that any new entities meet the current criteria as it stands. 73 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tom Wylie Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2008 11:35 AM To: DX-CHAT Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] "Country" definition ...
