Now here’s a Reasonable response and perspective IMHO Val Sent from Mail for Windows 10

To be clear, I am referring to DXCC rules, which up until 1986 required you to make the contacts from a single call district. Ria N2RJ

OK let's play devil's advocate. In the past we had horse racing. Do we now amend the rules in horse racing for people to use motorcycles to compete in horse races, because of progress? Again -

Ria and Gordon, this is DXCC, not VUCC. If you like VUCC, you should participate in VUCC. If you already got your VUCC, you can do it again like you said by relocating 500 miles from your original

Ria, Everyone seems to be bringing up old rules from before i was born, and even before my parents were born in some cases... for this hobby to evolve we need to move on and look to the future, not

Murray, Lots has improved. The Programs and Services Committee is composed of Directors (almost 1/2 of the Board). Each of the 15 Divisions has a member (non Board member) representative on both the

Prior to 1986 it was limited to call district. For example I couldn’t go to W6 or even W3 to work contacts toward my existing award. To me that makes complete sense. Ria N2RJ

A change to the bylaws requires a supermajority. Yes I am one vote but one vote that matters. Ria N2RJ

Val, I think you almost have it right. Instead of a DXCC/R for remotes, I think it should be agnostic for home or remote stations, but we centered on a specific location area. One could be working

Lou and Steve, 200 km seems like a VUCC thing. It could be different for below 30 MHz. An "area" could be any number of options depending on how the committees see the issue. 500 miles, 500 km, a

Ria Please correct me if I am wrong, you stated Finally, if the DXAC had its way, we would have had a distance limit and not the "anything goes" situation we have today. (We also likely would not

Possibly this was chosen due to existing 200km limitation for VUCC ops???? Don't know for sure though Lou. Steve, N4JQQ, DXAC, Delta On 8/8/2020 2:40 PM, Lou Laderman W0FK

Minutes of meetings? Communication by directors? Yes. Minute by minute, breath by breath? No. Ria N2RJ

I think you missed Murray's primary point: Will there be communications [i.e. visibility] during the process? 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn

I ran some 200km circles around major population centers in the US through Google Maps. A 200km limitation is very restrictive. Imagine belonging to a club that has set up several member-accessed

Its not that hard to work the first 100....actually 99, because I'm sure most have a qsl from their own country....you can do it during a DX contest weekend.....I'll have to check my log, but I think

I support the idea of an endorsement, but as someone who has operated a lot from Bermuda.....what is the Bermuda problem?

who is the Atlantic Division rep on the DXAC?

One point, but I think it is an important one. I see several people confusing (a) remote OPERATION of one's station with (b) the remote operation of a second station located at a location that is
