Someone has pointed out recently that for DXCC requirements, you could get by
with 9 QSO's which would cover 160 through 10 meters
that for years anyway...

One of my personal yardstick of the goodness of an expedition is NOT
the total number of QSOs made
as that depends entirely on the number of operators, stations and the
duration
but I like to look at the TOTAL QSOs made by the NUMBER of OPERATORS and
the NUMBER of DAYS taken into account
I think KQ8M's first comment in response to G7VJR's editorial is
on point. Clublog's Leaderboards should be modified to stop
counting at 11 band slots. 11 (or 12 if the operation works
six meters) allows a station to work the operation on each band
plus pick up QSOs on CW, Digital, and voice.
I don't really buy that argument. In the last days of a DXpedition,
they're usually begging.
Those who couldn't make a QSO probably couldn't make a QSO on a
completely clear band anyway. There is only so much you can work with
a dipole and 100 watts.
And finally, DXing is competitive.You can
I disagree. The last day of the Yemen DXpediition was the first day I
heard them well here in Colorado. There were still lots of callers.
Fortunately, I didn't need it, so I never got into the pileups.
ARRL created this mess when they expanded DXCC to include individual
band awards.

You obviously did not attempt to work 7O6T on RTTY. The Europeans
monopolized the few available RTTY band slots and even chased 7O6T
off RTTY many times in

QSO each on CW, SSB and RTTY, so you could either fit them in amongst your
9 QSO's, or make a total of 11 QSO's to satisfy DXCC requirements.
