When I was first licensed (1952), my receiver was a BC-348-Q and a crystal control home built CW rig with a pair of 2E26's into an open feed line dipole antenna. It took me over a year to work 10-countires. And it was fun! You had to "look" across the band for someone calling CQ (and vice versa)

I don't see why staying alive for a long time and being at the helm of a station that absolutely could get through to every active entity ever shouldn't put you at the top of the honor roll. You've worked the most entities, you get to be at the top. That said, a subcategory for most current entr
