[DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook
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 this and want to nurture it. DXCC Challenge is something new that they came up with and started promoting heavily around 2004. Its 12 pages replaced the DXCC listing in that issue, and the DXCC Listing has never returned. The DXCC Challenge list has now been removed and replaced by the 5 page 160M DXCC List (what do we need this for with its limited number of participants). The rest of the 32 page Yearbook contains DXpedition related articles like we get every month in How's DX. There are many DX reports that contain this kind of information and we don't need the DXCC Yearbook to just get more of it. Let Bernie do it in his column, and put the DXCC Lists back in the Yearbook. It is what the Yearbook was all about a few years ago, and it should be returned to that status.

Re: [DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook
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 opinion. Challenge may possibly be attracting more attention, but Challenge is the newest big thing. I would expect that there would naturally be a flurry of new activity there. DXCC, however, is still the original, and IMHO, the most prestigious of the DX awards. (don't challenge me with the merits of all of your favorite awards; I don't want to hear it) I also, don't know who,when, decided that the Yearbook needed to look like Parade Magazine in my Sunday paper, with a lengthy review of all of the news I saw on Fox News this past week. Please, just take it back to it's original form and leave it alone. It really would be nice if people would quit trying to discover a way to destroy the few remaining traditions we have left. I'm so sick I want to puke from operators ending correspondence on air communications with 73's. The term is 73; please learn what it means, and use it correctly, and please leave the Yearbook tradition alone 73, Mike, W5UC age treachery will overcome youth skill http://www.suddenlink.net/pages/w5uc/ Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
Re: [DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook
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 15 years of my life pursuing a high position on the DXCC List, and many others have put many more years in the same pursuit. Some people become SK's before the get to the top of it, and that may well happen to me. When you become a SK and your call sign ceases to be active, you fall off the list. It is a badge of honor to be high on the list, and the ultimate distinction is to reach the top. That remains my goal. The DXCC List in the Yearbook is our report card in this pursuit and it, if nothing else, should be in the DXCC Yearbook. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. You and I are not alone in this feeling.

Re: [DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook
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 strokes the ego like seeing your call in print in a publication that you share with the other top dx'ers.

RE: [DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook
What he said (Pete beat me to it)... but let me add this: I have read over the years that when statistics are compiled for the political goniffs at the US Capitol, on average a single letter from a single person (not an email, phone call, form letter, or name on a petition) is considered equivalent to representing a minimum of 1000 other people. Yeah... at least 1000 other people who feel the same way but didn't bother to write. So: I would strongly suggest that if you have strong feelings -- either way -- about the DXCC Yearbook, it's current format content, and it's future... calmly explain to the DXCC Desk how you feel and why (anger will do no good, reason will)... and mail it today. Oh, and make copies and send them to your Division Director and Vice Director too. I don't know if the 1:1001 ratio holds true in the Amateur ranks, but just imagine the impact if most or all subscribers to this list, and others who feel the same way, make their wishes known. After all... Newington is NOT the League. It is merely the staff administrative Headquarters. WE, the members, ARE the League. So it is up to US to tell our representatives -- the Section Managers, the Division Directors, the Officers, the Staff -- what we want. Otherwise, they will react as they best see fit, and react based on the input from others that they DO get. Oh yes... not only tell them how you feel, but add how you think they can accomplish this. (Me? I lack standing to have an opinion. Since I have continued to procrastinate and never did get around to sending in my cards to apply for DXCC in any form, I have yet to see a DXCC Yearbook, so I have no way of knowing what's different, what's missing, what doesn't belong, and how to improve it. So I can't lead by example on this one, but don't let MY procrastination stop you from doing this!) 73, ron w3wn -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Peter Dougherty Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2007 3:17 PM To: dx-chat@njdxa.org Subject: Re: [DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook Many on this reflector have made some excellent points on this topic.

[DX-CHAT] DXCC Yearbook
After standing out by the mailbox all night, my DXCC Yearbook finally came today. I was so looking forward to seeing my call in there for the Challenge award. I thought that was the reason we had to have all of our cards in by 12/31/06 so they would count for this years Challenge Award. This year's yearbook was the worst piece of junk I have ever seen since I have been getting the book. I promptly threw mine in the trash to be recycled. I hold DXCC Phone award number 2298 and I have been at the top of the honor roll for several years. I was ahead of K4MQG in the phone listings because I had already had BS7H confirmed from 1995. I'm sure he has caught me by now. The only thing I have to work for now is the Challenge Award and that's why I was greatly disappointed in this year's yearbook. The ARRL can save money by not sending me a yearbook next year. It is useless in it's present form.
