Yes you are right don't participate when it is corrupt. But I have been in the DXCC program for a long time ... it would be hard to leave. I guess a main reason for participating is it serves as a back-up to my QSL cards. If I should ever loose my cards, my records are in what I hope is a safe place. I also don't think we should accept mediocrity. I believe we should try and make the world a BETTER place rather than accepting how things are. High standards are like a sand castle ... one has to constantly build otherwise they disappear.
Doug I wasn't born in Saskatchewan, but I got here as soon as I could. -----Original Message----- The ARRL is not perfect, but no organization is. If you don't want to participate in DXCC because you think it is corrupt, then don't!
