Well Mome, the point I was trying to make was that any effort to re-do the DXCC list -- something that I do NOT personally advocate, by the way -- over from scratch will create just as much controversy as retaining the current list; and possibly (probably) more. [note: that means that you two guys over in GM, you know who you are, can quit throwing stuff at me, I was speaking hypothetically!]
I was also trying to point out (in the part that got clipped out of the reply) that many of the odd and unusual -- and suspect -- entities that exist today could not come into being today under current rules. So at least there will be no more (although had the rules not changed, I could argue for the inclusion of 4U1VIC; actually, I could argue either side of that one, but it's now a moot point anyway)... and especially none created due to phony IARU societies, which covers at least 2 of the entities added since the DXCC 2000 rules went into effect. 'nuff said. But, if you really want to chew on something, consider this: Don Miller W9WNV. He sure did activate a whole bunch of new ones... only quite a few never went on the books officially (or were removed after the fact) due to lack of documentation. Remember, there was only ONE operation that he actually owned up to faking; quite a few were accepted, mainly his earlier endeavors. It was only his later ones, were suspicions of "cut corners" came up, that were questioned. What if... Don ever did come up with the paperwork to prove that some or all of these "removed" entities weren't bogus, but were legit and he really did operate from them? How many "new ones" could be put back on the map? How many HR positions would change? I don't think it will happen... the paperwork, if it ever existed, would be over 30 years old, some possibly 40 or more. But if you think about the ramifications if something ever did turn up... 73 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mome Z32ZM Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 12:42 AM To: DX Chat Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] BS7H thoughts OC Ron, You finaly comme on mine. This is something I been writing allmost 8 months a go, (I think subject like KH8ZM or so). Then everyone go against me, but now repeating mine questions, posible answers etc......NEVERMIND. I think its about the time that DXAC members must seat-down and clear up the DXCC (delete OR add entities) for quite long period, OR the mess will continue?!?!?! CU in the Z7 & Z9 pile-up's :) All the best & Have nice day!
