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/system/dxcc/view/DXCC-160M-20240206-USLetter.pdf

He's been working on this for decades. And suddenly some completely unfamiliar and envious mug without RX antennas (and maybe without a station at all) declares 320...

Calling it simply injustice is not enough...

I have never applied for DXCC. I know what I worked and keep track of it
here locally.  I am the only person who really

cares what all the numbers are and since the ARRL DXCC program has (imo) become so watered down in the last couple decades there is little reason to
ever apply.



Be happy with who you see in the mirror every morning and celebrate those around you who are doing it the way that appeals to you. For those that aren't.well, don't concern yourself with them. They don't diminish what
you've done.
