GM Herb, The DXCC Card Checkers do not have to have 160m DXCC anymorebut they do have to allow their work to be vetted by HQ. Some field checkers may be unaware of this change; I have personally run into this problem. I do know that Don Search, W3AZD, checks 160m cards

It does seem, at the moment not being entirely wrapped up in ham radio, that there certainly is the analogue of OK1YQ in just about every realm of life. I can think of a few names that I personally found intensely irritating in the particular circumstances. So I DO understand the pique. When will

Several months ago I was asked by the League for a segment of one of my DX-pedition logs. I assume it was for this, but I don't know that for a fact. Times are changing. There are more ways than ever for someone who wants to game the game. Fake cards seem rather old fashion. 73 Ken K4ZW
