Charlie, that was just about what I was thinking. Basically, 'twas always thus. I remember operating from a M/M contest station in the early '70s and one of the old timers, spying our non-memory keye

I knew it was all over many years ago when I worked a 20dB/9 Italian station around Sunrise here in one 160m contest. (1pm in Italy) I have never applied for DXCC. I know what I worked and keep track

But in reality everything is much more complicated. We talked here in the reflector and went our separate ways.. For example, someone on this list honestly earned 300 countries : http://www.arrl.org/

Actually by remotes I meant listening to RX on other continents. I know only one guy in Ukraine who manages his station via the Internet (it is 20 km away from him). -- Nick, UY0ZG http://www.topband

The fundamental questions seem to be: What is the purpose of a DX QSO? What does a DX contact signify?In my book, three things:(1) The ability to assemble a station capable of making the contact;(2)

People are driven by different things. For instance, I would be lying if I claimed I wasn't competitively driven. And I can tell you that at points in my life it has caused me to "lose perspective".

Yes, it think it is possible to compete with yourself even in a sport like boxing. The point is that not everyone is going to be Mike Tyson or Mohammad Ali. That doesn't mean that you don't strive to

I have no wish to apply for any awards and actually have no idea what the DXCC rules are anyway. I think I got 160m WAC in 1962 when I was a lad though. I keep a list of countries that I have worked

100% agree Mike. Have never looked up DXCC totals for others. Contests were to see how many countries I could work. Been active from my only QTH, a 1/4 acre city lot, for 30+ years solely to compete
