[DX-CHAT] DXCC Listings

[Steve Lawrence]

The DXCC listings in the yearly book and Honor Roll should be in order 
of "current" entities with a slash to show totals with those deleted. 
So if W1AW has worked them all plus 20 deleted, the call would appear 
under 335 as W1AW/355. You could then quickly see how you stack up 
against the competition. And if you are interested in the absolute 
number, it's there. The "current" total is the only meaningful 
competitive measure. Listing calls with high totals that are also not 
on the honor roll because they haven't been active in years is a silly 
curiosity. The notion of "working them all" went out the window when 
the first deleted entity was "created." Absolute totals are a testimony 
to age and not current competitive activity.

One long time DXer's opinion.
