[ADXA] DXAC Tasking

Good afternoon,  the DXAC has received two taskings.

1.  Should 5-Band DXCC be expanded to include five of any of the bands, 
except 60?  The original 5-Band DXCC was 80-40-20-15-10.

My personal feelings are that the original DXCC should remain the same.  
I think an "additional" award of "any band" equaling five for DXCC.  
This preserves the original sweat equity, etc. for those holding the 
current award.  However, you are the ARRL/DX community so I will listen 
intently to your wishes.

2. What is the consensus on DXAC for the removal of silent keys (SK’s) 
from DXCC Annual List?

• NOTE: The DXCC Annual List is only a list of those showing activity 
(making at least one application) in the past year.
• HQ Staff may have some difficulties with this as far as correct 
information.
• This does not have to be a firm yes or no answer but rather a 
comment(s) from DXAC.
Please report the DXAC’s comments back to PSC by 10 January, 2020.

DXAC has to report back to PSC by 10 January so there is quick window of 
opportunity.  Not sure why the rush.

If you have a comment that you would like to be considered, please let 
me know.

If you don't mind.  I'm trying to get organized.

BTW, there is discussion of this on the ARRL Awards reflector that was 
recently implemented.  I urge you to join that and see if it is of value 
to you.  Sort of overwhelming in my opinion but your mileage may vary.
