All this all-time DXCC listings (deleted and gone forever) has
created much discussion. I made a comment with that honor to senior
DXers, but this could apply to all.
Many DXers work hard to work a new one. They are not blessed with
super stations with super antennas. And, many do not use the aid
A current total for everyone one on the DXCC lists has to be known

It's a matter of which way it's cut. One is a deference to longevity
(absolute total), the other to competition with recognition of long

Beautifully stated. Anyone with a super station will know the amount of
effort required. I do not count myself among those but I do know that even
a moderately successful station takes a lot of work.This does not even take

I've been reading this thread (for the most part) and sometimes when I feel
rushed, I've just hit the delete key. For some reason I read these two and
wanted to add my 2 cents worth which will become delete fodder for many,
but others might have a slight interest.
