NOT practical and is totally out of the question.
The current rules make DXCC a CHALLENGE...not a "GIVEN"!!!
On that note...we have several here associated with a "DX"
club and they believe in pumping their chest over #1 honor
roll. #1 HR is obtainable by MANY hams as long as they live
long enough AND the NEEDED entities are "ACTIVATED"...
Many needing that last one....did NOT get it!! But THIS
DXPedition was NOT about eradicating the need for BS7 for
everyone.... it was meant to put a very much needed entity
on the air for a less than majority group. For the most
part, ANY ham who has a radio and a yagi at some height can
work them all GIVEN enough time....when there is a
DXpedition like PETER ONE who is on for so long they call CQ
endlessly without answer...SURE!!! EVERYONE can work them...
When an entity comes on like BS7 for a relatively SHORT
period.....FORGET ABOUT IT!.... I think it would be
interesting to know how many stations (IF ANY) in 3 or 4
land worked them without an AMP? I know many who called for
days on end without one, only to end up coming over here to
work them.
No mal intent implied or suggested....but the next time a
BS7 comes on.....I bet you there will be more amps fired up
on the east coast....IF NOTHING ELSE...it sure helps the HAM
RADIO ECONOMY by having hams run out and purchase amps and
YAGIS!!!!
VIVA LA QRO!!!

I actually have read the rules - and I think they are rather silly - I follow them, but, if I was running the program, I'd add one simple one
The entity must have a permanent human population - defined as having been
continuously populated for more 6 months - after 6 months of no one living
there, they are removed
Yeah - I know it would remove a LOT of entities from the list, but
