Hi

This topic has been discussed several times already. ARRL pays no attention and continues its business. There is a saying "And Vasily (that’s the cat’s name) listens and eats..."

But there is always a way out - you need to intensify your daily work at 160 and enjoy the process. I recently made my 5000th contact with US stations. I'm glad. If only someone from the US would create similar awards for stations in Europe.

And the people in the USA, unfortunately, are busy with their own problems - work, worries... There is no one to save Radio from business and stupidity......

We've seen the same thing the past few days with people using RHR to work the current 7O2WX operation.  Of course, I'm sure they will be claiming it for their DXCC, which at one time was the world's most prestigious and sought after amateur radio award. Between remote operation and digital contacts not having their own category, the once coveted DXCC award has become essentially irrelevant and meaningless.  Although solutions are comparatively simple, unfortunately, no one at HQ seems interested in fixing it.
