[Dx-qsl] 2007 DX Yearbook

Sun Sep 28 11:31:37 EDT 2008

I finally received my 2007 DX Yearbook yesterday via the mail! Woohoo! It has some great articles in it, especially from Vlad (UA4WHX).
It only has 8 pages of articles, because Bill (NC1L) mentioned that (per comments he has received) to add the DXCC Annual List again. That list takes up 39 pages! I think that is such a waste, since any member can get it off the web for free and it doesn't cost the ARRL much to do that. I would rather see more articles in the yearbook than a listing of DXCC callsigns which is already outdated, since the info changes so often these days.
Previous years had 20+ pages of articles, so apparently publishing the calls in it takes away from that! Oh well, maybe next year they'll have more articles instead of the list. I really enjoy reading the dxpedition year in review.
Maybe ARRL can put up a voting option on their web site to see which way people prefer? More articles with no list OR less articles with the list?
And now back to dxing. ;-)
