Off the coast of Dover there's a sandbank called Goodwin Sands. It's a shifting and treacherous sandbank that lies just below the surface of the water and has claimed many shipwrecks over the years. Goodwin Sands only rises above the sea at a couple of very low "spring" tides each year. ONE ONE OF THESE OCCASIONS EACH YEAR, LOCALS GO AND PLAY AN ANNUAL CRICKET MATCH ON THE SANDS. Now THAT'S what I call REASONABLE for a hobby! Dave G0OIL

Errrr, uhhhh, hold on a minute. Who, supposedly in his right mind, but NOT holding an amateur radio operators license would think that ANY DX-Pedition is reasonable? Who gets to define reasonable? As long as no laws are broken, and the participants act voluntarily, isn't reasonable anything we want to do? Some people jump out of airplanes, or off of high bridges with stretchy rubber tied to their ankles. I wouldn't do it, I think they are nuts, but they make their own rules, just like we make ours. Reasonable is a very subjective term. Personally, I don't think that BS7 should have been made a new entity, but, apparently a majority of those interpreting the DXCC rules thought it qualified. 73, Mike, W5UC "age & treachery will overcome youth & skill" http://www.suddenlink.net/pages/w5uc/ Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org 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, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
