assessment. That said, I do like some of the other ideas such as the "one location" endorsement. My position has always been to have an endorsement for those who did it the "classic" way and still allow those who use remotes or borrowed stations to propagation shop to do their thing. and count it for the regular DXCC award. With that said, DXing's age problem is not an issue of remotes. It's an issue of the interest in worldwide communication. It is no longer special to communicate worldwide. Therefore the appeal of DXing is more among older hams. I see this in my DX club. We are aging out. A lot of young hams simply aren't interested in DXing. Younger people are attracted to other activities such as radio science, making, outdoor exploring, and to some extent, contesting. I don't think there is a magic bullet to get young people interested in DXing. Sure, there will be a few but not a lot. 73 Ria N2RJ On Sat, 8 Aug 2020 at 11:51, Jack Roberts - KD9OPV <kd9opv@...> wrote:
