[ADXA] 3Y0 thoughts about ARRL input before a trip starts? Interesting thought...

[HamOP]

Agree, Stan… So, perhaps pressure the LoTW log submission by end of trip, but I do NOT think that will sway the group’s leader the least bit. Not counting QSOs due to an ARRL Board decision perhaps will work. There is a thought process and possible sanctioning an operation based on ethics issues. Happened in the 1970s to a guy who said “no money, no QSL”.. Rick, David or Joel might remember the specifics and the DXpedition call or could look it up. I was on the DXAC but no longer have those records.

At the same time, I can see a group saying there have been so few pre-trip donations to speak of (hmmm, whose fault is that?) and the necessity of recouping the outlay of funds from “post trip” QSLing process. And they can say this is “our process and work us based on it”… We all just stand by and see now… 

This is going to be interesting, and the ARRL getting involved might help, letting pertinent direct QSLing and LoTW critique information out BEFORE the trip so the 3Y0 team will know in advance! If not counted for DXCC, then so many will not work them at all… Now, that would be a true money loser. I side with the ADXA member comments and suggestions….

Dittos, Gents! 

Maybe the DXCC desk could add a “LOTW by the end of the Dxpedition” rule to be credited!

$50 for the first QSO is what I call Bravo Sierra!  

Will they even get there? At this point who cares? 

It reminds me of this guy named Herrick 
many years ago. He had a lucrative QSL business bilking the DXer at $20 a pop and then you get your QSL three years later VIA BURO. What a load!
