I can't see why he took offence at your forwarding this reply. He doesn't seem like a grumpy guy but maybe he was just having a grumpy day :-) Surely he'd have sent the same reply to me if I'd asked? And everyone else here? If you want something kept confidential you should say so.

[DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook

2007-07-25 Thread jcowens1
In looking back at past issues of the DXCC Yearbook, I find that the 1993 (my first year in it), the DXCC Listing was 19 pages long. The 2002 issue had 27 pages to the list. It is obvious that participation has grown quite a bit over the years, and you would think that ARRL DXCC would enjoy

AMEN John: Last year when I complained that the annual DXCC listings were missing, a part of the explanation I got verbally from a particular League official, was that the DX Challenge is now the premier DX Award in the league DX program. Pardon my French, but BS. That's a matter of

Mike: I couldn't have expressed it better than you have. DXCC has a 40+year (that I know of) history and it is the pinnacle of DX awards. I don't participate in DXCC Challenge as it takes way to much time to make a dent in the standings. More power to those who do like it. I have, however, put

I'll say again, you assume all dx'ers have the internet. The internet is not available for most African locations unless you live in a large African city. The same is true for South America. A lot of rural locations in the US does not have internet available-thus the FCC wants BPL. Nothing

Why not just make the Yearbook available as a .pdf file. It could easily be whatever number of pages is needed for all listings to be shown. Then anyone wanting a paper copy just needs to print it out. 73, Tim - N3XX - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: DX Chat

It's all about dumb it down and try to appeal to the new breed of hams. Did you see the latest Antenna Issue of QST? All those VHF antenna projects are a joke. While ARRL wants to appeal to the shack on the belt gang, to increase the membership roster, do they really think they would or
