Well, everybody gets their kicks from this or any hobby in their own personal way.
For my part, I have not found it so easy to get to the honor roll as Joe has, possibly because Missouri is kinda far from the nearest salt water. With just a wire in the trees, there are some places in Asia and the remote Pacific that are audible only once or twice in a decade, if that. Still, some of my numerous clubmates who have achieved the magic 331+ total have done it with a tri-bander on the roof, or a vertical in the yard, and maybe someday I'll snag those last few that I still need, and join them. When I do, I would like to feel that the other guys who did it before me got there without sending their signals halfway to the DX over a phone line or the internet. Even if it somehow is deemed to be okay to work 'em that way, it's not for me. I'll stick with the signal I can radiate via whatever wires I can feed out my bedroom window.
