[DX-CHAT] Honor Roll
Amen Dan!!! Nobody cares except the guys who achieved HR and 5BDXCC. Making the honor roll is like building a 3 BR Ranch House: given enough time and the proper tools, virtually anyone could do it. Upon completion, only family members will notice. However, make the honor roll with 150 watts and a dipole and you will bask in the sunshine of almost everyone.

Re: [DX-CHAT] UP machine
Danhuman nature ensures that there will be cheaters in any endeavor; amateur radio is not an exception. I know... it's just a particularly silly context for cheating. If you take a dive in boxing at least you get some money. If you cheat at Harvard at least you get a diploma that helps you get a job later. If you cheat at ham radio? But some people just can't help themselves. I can only tell you from personal experience when you get over 300 countries the new ones come quite slowly. I am happy with one or two new ones a year these days. Me too. TX5C was my #300 and nothing since. Much of what I need is on tough polar paths that I never seem to find open. Nothing even heard. But I've been hunting 160m DXCC (OH0X couple nights ago was my #98 worked) and knocking down band countries, so I'm still having fun. Kind of hoping to work one more 160m country to get to #99 and then work TN5SN for #100 on Topband and #301 all time but I doubt that's going to happen .. you never know though ;-) 73 Dan --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
