[Dx-qsl] NEW DXCC RULES - REMOTE STATIONS

[Gerry Gross]

Reread the rules and the change.

You could always have rented a station on any coast and worked remote.  The
only change to the rule was that prior YOU had to be in the same DX country
as the transmitter now you can be anywhere.  The location of the
transmitting station determines the DX country.

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.
