I agree, Axel.

    This is the second year I missed worked all 67 counties by 1 single 
county. I'm also firmly convinced that the thrill is in the chase, not 
the achievement. I think that having stations that are going to be on 
all the time in the "rare" counties would  take away all of that thrill 
in "worked all counties".
