Let's solve all these problems at one time! None of this piecemeal mix and match.
Since an incentive license has little meaning, the next step should be to make DXCC Honor Roll to begin at 125 countries. And when you get past 150 countries, there is no longer a dxcc total country count, just a Honor Roll #1 plaque. That should solve the inactive list, and the "I can't wait any longer.... I gotta have it now" problems. The countries that are sometimes a bit difficult to work will be absorbed beyond the 150 count and everyone will be happy. Won't we?? 73 Red K0LUZ Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] Yemen Hi, Well, for what it is worth here is my thoughts. I am sitting at 325 and of the 10 I have left, several (3 or 4) have "no likely chance" of operations. Why keep them on the list? If a country does not allow activity from an entity I would like to see them go off the 'active' list. However, I do remember a brief operation from Yemen just last year - and I missed that one too. This could be handled by starting an 'inactive' list and then using the active list to determine honor roll, etc. I am not just complaining but really wonder why an entity would be keeping someone from 'top of the honor roll' when there is no possibility of operations from there. If a legit operation started the entity could be moved back to the active list. Just an idea - probably full of holes but just an idea. It would require some bugs to work out but I think it could happen. As for me, I have hopes that the 3C0 dx-pedition will put me on honor roll and 'top of the honor roll' is a long way off :-). 73 de N5PHT, Gary Steve-KF2TI <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 2 chances of a legit operation slim (actually high probablibility of this) and none On 1 Sep 2003 at 12:14, Dean Norris wrote: Date sent: Mon, 01 Sep 2003 12:14:15 -0700 To: From: Dean Norris Subject: [DX-CHAT] Yemen > What would you assembled masses consider the probability (educated > guess....SWAG??) that Yemen, 7O, will be on the air in the next year. > I am rapidly approaching retirement and me & the missus are looking at > buying a motor home and traveling until we decide not to travel any > more. > > Doing so will likely result in selling the home and getting rid of the > tower/beam, a few hundred pounds of 'stuff' and maybe the IC756ProII > OR the 706 MkII. > > Anyway, since the last country I need to make Top 'o d' Roll is the > elusive 7), I wonder if I should start selling off now or wait a while > for a possible opportunity. > > Ideas? > > BTW, I have learned one or two things recently... > > 1) Kids don't think it is funny at all when you tell them that you > plan to travel until you are unable to continue and then you will pull > up in front of their house and say, "Here I am!" > > 2) Be kind to your kids because they determine which nursing home you > will die in! > > > Dean > > > Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems > http://njdxa.org/dx-chat > > To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA > http://njdxa.org > Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org Do you Yahoo!?
