This is a good example of the entitlement crowd attitude. They believe that all the DXCC entities need to be available NOW, no waiting. Reaching the top of the honor roll was long term plan that kept us interested in DXing for a lifetime. Now some want it to be just like a mail order degree ... no work and instant gratification. Just like our schools ... no one fails ... everyone passes.
Doug I wasn't born in Saskatchewan, but I got here as soon as I could. -----Original Message----- I really believe all this concern where the operator is actually seated will be somewhat lessened when someone is able to get a compact plug and play emote controlled briefcase size setup in P5. The operation would not require a visa and radio clubs could share in providing the operators. A 100 watt package with a 20-10 vertical placed in a utility room on the top floor of the 1082 foot high Ryugyong hotel in downtown Pyongyang for the cost of just having the hotel feature on the QSL card. Some of the QSL proceeds cold go to a help establish a radio club in PDRK and those techies there could probably end up securing a proper license for the system. Just think of North Korean being on the air 24/7 and everyone would have a chance to finally get this most rare an elusive country confirmed. the badmouthing of remote controlled stations would end.
