Bruce,
I may be missing something, but using your logic, a new guy could NEVER
get to the top of the all time list as there are entities he couldn't
possibly work as these entities are on the deleted list. The current method
levels the playing field as available entities are available to all.

I respectfully submit, not if it's unattainable. Lowering the standards does
not apply here. Those who are enjoying the status of deleted countries
still enjoy them. It's just that from now forward newly deleted countries
will not count. I have no qualms with that happening to any entities in

Looks like everyone can be happy IF: old-timers are allowed to keep their
all-time acquired entity number but they and everyone else will be top of
the honor roll only by confirming all CURRENT entities. The honor of
carrying deleted entities remains but does not count toward top of honor
Ron, You are right and wrong and this is the mis understanding everyone has.
On the one hand, you can work all of the CURRENT countries, qualify for the
DXCC honor roll and top of the honor roll (Number 1 plaque) on that basis.
On the other hand TOTAL countries is kind of like a life time
Hi Charlie, That is the way it was . The new way is, from now on, not
only to delete a country from the current list but to expunge (I think that
is spelled correctly) it from everyone's all-time total. Eventually when we
all die off, there will be no difference between current and all-time

The rest of us come an at some lower number. I, for one, enjoy seeing my

I have to agree with Ron, ND5S. When DXCC decided to change the policy
with regard to Deleted Countries, they didn't come through and throw away
all of these entities for the long time leaders of our DXCC list. They
could have, but they didn't. They understood how important it was to
acknowledge
