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 voice.

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.
