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

Very well stated Scott!
Let's make this Honor Roll thing easy enough so we
can all make it without much effortheck maybe we could even make it
automatic for those who have been active DX'ers for at least 10 years.
Then after 20, one would automatically be added to the "Top of the List".

Amateur radio does indeed face a big problem: BPL. However, in other
respects it's doing just fine. More talented and interesting people

I love the turn my original post has taken.
I am not complaining that I have been chasing DX for 47 years and have yet
to get to the top. I am just wondering if I should retire from work and

But then, I remember when it was "no likely chance" that I

had all of them except VU7A and FR/J. I guess all that inconvenience

Gentlemen, please allow me to repeat something I said when this came up

I would suggest you keep your rig, and amplifier (that goes on 110AC) and
at least a 2 ele. beam (armstrong aimed)...you got a chance...CW is your
best bet.
GOOD LUCK !!!
