Urb, as always, raises some good points, and I find myself pretty much in
agreement with his sentiments.
However, I don't think that the issue is what is DX? so much as it is
what is a DXCC entity? There IS a difference.
In other words, if Mt
Its FUN. That's what DX is.
The frustrations, the whining, the dx cops and the bad behaviour in the
pile ups all mean nothing. The fun is the only part that matters.

I can see that there are as many opinions about the DXCC list as there are participants
(active or not). My question about Tom's ideas concerns the list of current countries
(entities) -- would it be composed of countries that are or could be activated? In

Change entity of Mount Athos to that of Monk Apollo. Then when he dies
it goes into the goodby list as the entity has ceased to exist. There!

I totally accept the fact that I'm an old fart and that the condition

understand some of the thinking express during the recent new country/

I've commented on other reflectors about DXing on VHF. Seems the VHF+ ops

I proposed almost the exact same thing (even to the 10 year period of no

I still think it's a good idea.

I too floated the idea of a suspended list many years ago and it met
the same fate. Now that I revisit it: Imagine that a suspended
country became active and worked, say, only three stations. It could
take another 10 years or whatever the inactivity period to suspend
before it was suspended

I must respectfully disagree with that
I guess I have mixed feelings, since I still need several of the

BY and ZA were not possible to work and I don't recall any serious
movement to remove them from the list. Maybe folks were more patient a
few years back.
73,
Well I got news for you about VU4. It will be active again, only a matter
of time.
Let me relate a story about VU4. It point out that things happen overnight
that we cannot foresee. Here is the story.

Nicobar Islands
Yes, Bob, patience is what it is all about and you're right, it is in short
