[Dx-qsl] NEW DXCC RULES - REMOTE STATIONS

Thu Jan 22 21:10:43 EST 2015

I disagree,
this has always been a GENTLEMANS GAME. One has always been able to CHEAT at
this if one wanted to. YOU know what YOU have done. finish what you started.
This is ONLY for US anyway, no one else really cares if we have HONOR ROLL
but DXers anyway.

Well looks like I'll just start putting my disposable income towards my
other hobby. Fun while it lasted but if this is truly the way it works now I
don't see any point in pursuing DXCC awards any further.
