I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, Ron, but the Isle of
Moosylvania is squarely in the middle of the Seminole Indian
Reservation. The members of WASH will have to discover another new
DXCC entity; or, perhaps they might want to work on developing a 51st
state so that 52nd state can be brought into the Union.
OR, you and WASH can help me on my latest new-DXCC entity project:
obtaining DXCC entity status for all the 600 or so Indian
Reservations in the U.S. Since by treaty, each reservation is a
sovereign nation, isn't it about time the DXCC desk and the IARU
people recognize this fact and grant them their own prefix? After
all, they have their own governments, police and courts, systems of
taxation through casinos, and languages, so it's only logical they
have their own prefixes (prefices?). For example, the Oneida Indian
Reservation just north of me could be OIR2xxx (would need three
letters in the suffixes).
Think what this would do for DX hunters! It would open a whole new
world of DXing! There would be a new award: WAIR (Worked All Indian
Reservations). And instead of a measly 326 DXCC entitites, there
would be more than 900!
Waddya think?

Now that we've finally got this uploaded...
Considering the discussion the last few days about DXCC entities, I thought
some of you might appreciate an article in my club's newsletter about a
potential new DXCC entity that has yet to be activated.
You can find the article in the September 2002 issue of the WASHRag at
http://www.washarc.org (just follow the links to the newsletter
page) on Page 6.
I know... the thought of a new enitity is almost like a fairy tale, although
to some a fractured one at that. But read the story first and then decide.
