I sat down to write an intelligent response to the remote question but realized
I don't really care anymore. The Amateur Radio that I grew up with, and loved,

It’s an easy problem to solve. Just change every country with districts into
multiple DXCC entities. WØ-W9. Ten new countries. VE1, VE2, VK1 etc. Move to
