We have gone down this road many times over the years. So there is
no need to repeat this thread.
"Those who fail to study history are condemned to repeat it"
This is actually a perfect thread, for today there are many new DXers
out there who either don't know, or don't understand" the history of
DXCC; the rules; the occasions where the rules have ruled even when
they shouldn't have. (Does that make sense?). I know, there are a
lot of "senior" DXers who follow this reflector, but there are also a
lot of new entrants to DXCC.
Based on my years in DXCC, it would seem to me that more people died,
or incurred life threatening injuries, on Field Day, or working on
their equipment / tower than going on DX-peditions. (yea, I
know, apples and oranges)
30 years ago the argument was we should delete China, and today North
Korea, or other DXCC entities where operation is "politically" controlled.
I don't think it's an issue of safety, the rules are the rules.
So, if "the rock" qualifies, why not. I'm sure there could be a
lively discussion of why it qualified, but that's another thread.
