[Dx-qsl] The Future?

[Steve Lund]

The Qs certainly count for DXCC now.

I would think this would be difficult to change. Who would be policing it?

These remotes certainly skew statistics. Many of the W6/7 stations listed
for Zone 3 in the 1A0KM log actually used east coast remotes. Pretty
obvious when you see 10m Qs at 13Z - several hours before sunrise. Those
80m Qs during sunlight are pretty questionable, too!

For a few $$$, I could have that 3000 bar for my DXCC Challenge plaque.
