[Elecraft] HOA Crap

[Bill Frantz]

OK. I have a DXCC award on my wall. It is from Los Gatos, CW. 
It's showing 185 mixed confirmed in my logbook. I moved to NH in 
2019. My NH log shows 106 mixed confirmed. (I keep separate logs 
for NH and CA contacts.) It's a bit hard to get the union of the 
two logs, but the results will be higher than 185 due to the 
ease of EU contacts. (I think, if I've done my uploads to 
Clublog correctly, they have the correct count.) My only answer 
to all the questions about the situation is to fall back on the 
DXCC rules which say that all these contacts count.

I really don't think the amateur radio community has wrapped its 
mind around the fact that many of us move around the country a lot.
