[Dx-qsl] NEW DXCC RULES - REMOTE STATIONS

Thu Jan 22 21:17:54 EST 2015

it's a CRYING SHAME,

but in all truth, now I can RENT a 6 meter station on the east coast & one
on the west coast & work COUNTRIES I never would have had a chance of
working before.  anyone can point me in the right direction so I can get my
6 meter DXCC count up over 200 ?

                                                   :-( Joey

Well looks like I'll just start putting my disposable income towards my
other hobby. Fun while it lasted but if this is truly the way it works now I
don't see any point in pursuing DXCC awards any further.
