Well here we go again with all the CRAP from the Instant DXers. They want
their DXCC country and they want it NOW. Every time some DXCC entity gets
hard to work there are cries to delete it by the ARRL.
Just remember all the cries over the past year about deleting YA and P5.
Well these two countries are currently on the air and providing a lot of
contacts and fun.
You "DXer Wanta Bs" just hang in there and at the right time it will happen.
