Re: [DX-CHAT] new rule??
I think it has happened more than once, in the history of DXCC, that someone found a new place they thought would qualify as a new country by the existing rules and also thought they could get there first, so they pushed to have that new country established on the list and then went and operated from there. All the participants, not wishing to be left behind, went ahead and worked (or tried to work) it. And so it stuck. 73, Zack W9SZ On Fri, 16 Jun 2006, Tom Wylie wrote: Oh, I care passionately about working them all, especially as I have only TWO to get.

Hey Tom I like the Worked all phone booth award. Not many of those left in our country and it would be a challenge. I can just see setting up an HF station in a phone booth. Man the terrorist alert would go out in a hurry.

The idea that a rock is a country makes a LOT of sense to the country that owns it. You get the undersea oil rights for a radius of 100 miles or some such...

Re: [DX-CHAT] Fuel Pump Noise
Steve, the RFI reflector at Contesting.org recently had a thread on this topic.
http://www.contesting.com/FAQ/rfi . [Not so recently; I just checked. See next
PP.]
[Saved you some searching. Here's a summation of fuel pump noise topics:
http://lists.contesting.com/archives//cgi-bin/namazu.cgi?query=fuel+pumpsubmit=Search%21idxname=RFImax=20result=normalsort=score
Nothing specific on Subaru, but it'll give you some ideas or maybe you can join
the reflector and ask.]
I'd go back to the Jeep. My Grand Cherokee gets up to 23 mpg, no RFI. Too many
front end problems with Subarus with which I have been associated; offsets the
savings on gas. X;{
