> I suspect if the ARRL got a PTT letter from EZ stating that no ham radio allowed, THEN maybe the old 10 year rule would start to be discussed, like in the old Neutral Zones stuff in the 1970s and early 80s. Then you delete (yes makes some people mad who don’t like seeing a DXer pushed to #1 on a deletion decision) but might happen if no operation in 15 years, which would be in 2022!

Then it was re-added later ( July 14, 2011 ) when they divided again for sure and you had to re-work ST0.. My first ST0 was #331 for me in early 1978 just before I went there to operate, then my second ST0 new one was #402 total worked with 341 current DXCC count in July 2011. We shall see what we shall see about EZ.
