[Dx-qsl] NEW DXCC RULES - REMOTE STATIONS

Thu Jan 22 17:59:00 EST 2015

Yes Joe the ARRL has degraded the DXCC for some years now. You can borrow
someone's station on the east, west or south coast and work all the DX on
all bands to your heart' content. As I understand it W8JI will loan his
station to work all the 160m dx you wish. Band totals and DXCC are now
worthless pieces of paper. I could go on.

Well that makes a mockery of DXCC. A US station could rent super-
stations in Maine, Washington, Texas and Florida to get the "easy"
path to P5, 3Y1-b, or even K1N (KP1), etc. on all bands.
The Board *should have* limited DXCC credit to QSOs made from the
operator's "Home Station" only. Thus a "snow bird" could remotely
operate his station in Michigan from his winter home in Florida
or the station at his "winter home" in Arizona from his "summer
place" in Idaho but not play "dial a DX" by picking a commercial
"for rent" QTH based on beneficial propagation (and bankroll).
An individual who lives in a CC&R restricted community would still
be free to build a remote station "on a farm" outside town - it's
his "home station" but again, he would be restricted to that single
remote station and not play "dial a DX" ...
Anyone in Western Washington have a station I can "borrow" next time
XZ, BS7, BV9P and P5 are on the air (or a bunch of others I need on
the low bands)?
