[Dx-qsl] A Solution for lack of activity VU4-VU7

Sun Apr 7 18:53:01 2002

Instant DXer? Gary, you might wanna think again about that. I have been on 
the air, going on to 40 years, and from 7 permanent countries, and about 20 
temporary spots/countries during that period, so Im no newbie. Yes I have 
heard this discussed before, and it probably will before. Those countries 
are not just "hard" to work right now, they are "impossible" until political 
and military situations change. 
Yes, they could change next week. So, add them to the list as new ones next 
week. Meantime they dont belong on a list of active countries on which 
people are attempting to achieve a goal. N> Korea should have been placed 
the same way, until someone was able to crack the governmental wall, and I am 
not sure it really meets the requirements now, even though ARRL has accepted 
the current operations. My understanding was that the entity is not elgible 
for recognition, if the government there will not allow the local citizens to 
have amateur licenses. That doesnt seem to be the case here.
 I believe this is a legitimate question and subject, and name calling is 
uncalled for in a serious discussion of something that is of great interest 
to a large number of amateurs, not only in the USA, but in the rest of the 
world. 
This is not a case of me calling for something for nothing, its simply a case 
of calling for legitimizing a procedure with common sense.
