All this all-time DXCC listings (deleted and "gone forever") has
created much discussion. I made a comment with that honor to senior
DXers, but this could apply to all.
Many DXers work hard to work a new one. They are not blessed with
super stations with super antennas. And, many do not use the ai
A current total for everyone one on the DXCC lists has to be known
otherwise the asterisk could not be printed. The data is the all there.
It's a matter of which way it's cut. One is a deference to longevity
(absolute total), the other to competition with recognition of long
term accomplishment
It appears to be a case of whose ox is being gored. For those of us who
have been long time active dxers and want to be recognized for what we have
accomplished over the years, the overall total including currently deleted,
but not deleted at the time we worked them, is valid. We have looked fo
I have been away from ham and DX comunity for about a
year, looks like I have missed out on a lot of news.
What is this business about expunging the
DXCC list? Is this now being implemented at ARRL? I hope not, I have worked at
it for years as many others have and I would certainly fight a ne
You seem to be inferring that building/obtaining a super station is NOT hard
work. I am not 'blessed' with a super station, I obtained it with a lot of
hard work. I design and build my own antennas, top loaded ground plane on
160m, 4sqs on 80m & 40m, long boom yagi's on 20, 15 & 10. All built wi
Red - Call what you will "stupid" but it's MY opinion just as yours is
yours. When I see an unachievable number with an asterisk next to it,
I'm not inclined to think of anything much more than "OT." When I see
335 as a "current" number I wonder on what band that op snagged the P5.

I've been around the block enough to know that owners of some of these super
stations don't necessarily put hard work into it. Only hard cash. They hire
professionals to design and install their stations and antennas. Now don't

Beautifully stated. Anyone with a super station will know the amount of
effort required. I do not count myself among those but I do know that even
a moderately successful station takes a lot of work.This does not even take
into account the operator's skill which is another important ingre
Steve, Red, et al,
I've been reading this thread (for the most part) and sometimes when I feel
rushed, I've just hit the delete key. For some reason I read these two and
wanted to add my 2 cents worth which will become "delete fodder" for many,
but others might have a slight interest.

Hi John, No, you misunderstand what is going to happen .
Today we have current totals and all-time totals. Current totals count
towards DXCC, Honor Roll and Top of the Honor Roll recognitions. All time
totals, including deleted, count for nothing other than bragging rights and
