for DXCC. In a word, disgusting. Also disappointing.

would ever participate in that program again.
The Dickensian character Ebeneezer Scrooge sums it all up
thusly: "Bah Humbug!"

35. Ms, Jairam moved, seconded by Mr. Williams: WHEREAS, there has been
a
growing concern over fully automated contacts being made and claimed for
DXCC credit, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, on the recommendation of the
Programs and Services Committee, the Board directs that DXCC rule 6 be
amended to add 6a, as the following: 6a. Each contact claimed for DXCC
credit must include contemporaneous direct initiation by the operator on
both sides of the contact. Initiation of a contact may be locally or by
remote.
