The ARRL DXCC award has enormous inertia due to having been established a long time ago, being tightly managed by a dedicated team, and remaining a highly popular and globally-respected award. It is a mature award with a rich history.
If you genuinely want the DXCC rules to be changed, you’d need to make a stronger, far more convincing case than “I think” and “BS rocks”, eventually proposing specific wording changes.
If that sounds onerous, it is … because some issues with DXCC have resulted from previous rule changes that may not have been thought-through and justified as thoroughly. It would be all too easy to meddle with the award and inadvertently make it worse. Improving it takes more effort.
To be clear, I’m not saying “Don’t bother”. I’m encouraging you, and others, to make a sensible case that we can debate openly here.
On the other hand, if you are simply sounding off and trolling us, don’t expect to be taken too seriously.

I think the definition needs to be changed to not allow a small pile of rocks sticking up out of the water where you have to build scaffolding just to get on them to something that requires X amount of land area etc. On 10/29/2020 9:01 AM, H Hans Brakob wrote:
