I think this all goes down to that instant gratification. All us honest DXers are impressed with the level of the old timers who have worked all that stuff none will ever get a chance to work. That's the priviledge of being a senior DXer.
Look at the Amateur Extra ticket where that has gone. Once upon a time when it was created it had no special operating priviledges and was a very tough written exam. Not only that, it was like that of a professional engineering license, where you must have practiced engineering for at least two years before taking the exam. You could not enter Amateur Radio at the Amateur Extra level. And 5 wpm now? That's a crock. I'm not saying 20 wpm should be retained. But 5 wpm? But, I'm off the subject. I like the old way and that is in favor of "deleted" rather than the new way "of just go away" out of respect for our old time DXers. 73, John N6JM Dean Norris wrote: > > Someone who starts chasing the elusive DX rarity today will never work a > country that has been deleted.
