Since the K5P operation, one UK amateur radio supplier has told me
that he will never sponsor another US-led dxpedition. 75K contacts,
only 11% with Europe, and just 864 of those on RTTY. Not good
enough!
Bad idea to eliminate US lead DXpeditions ... many/most of the EU lead
operations are just as bad (or worse) in the opposite direction.
It would be better if sponsors required any expedition to agree to
this policy as a condition for support:
The group or organization sponsoring the DXpedition must commit to
equality for voice, CW and data (RTTY) modes. It is expected that at
each mode will receive equivalent amplifier/antenna and operator
resources, have equal access to prime bands and operating hours to
each of the world's major population centers, and will represent at
least 25% of total contacts.
