RTTY MOST WANTED [1/2]
DXCC Most Wanted Country List Survey Form (by Don Hill, AA5AU)
To use this survey, print out this page, check the countries that you still
need, and snail mail to Don Hill AA5AU, P.O.Box 625, Belle Chasse, LA 70037
USA. I would prefer that a zero (0) be entered for countries that you HAVE
or a one (1) be entered for countries you NEED.
For example, Mike W5ZPA, only needs 11 more countries on RTTY. Therefore he
would put a "1" next to those countries he NEEDS and leave the rest blank.
On the other hand, if you need more countries than you have worked, it may be
quicker to put a "0" next to those countries you have worked and leave the
others blank.
There are no real rules as to what you consider a country you already HAVE.
Many do not collect the QSL cards and don't chase DXCC. However, I would
caution against those that consider the 7O RTTY operation in 1996 in their
return. Even the operator admitted he did not have a valid license to
operate from 7O.
Yet, contacts with Heard Island or St. Peter/St. Paul Rocks that have been
confirmed electronically are welcome as being contacts you may HAVE. It may
be months before we see those cards.
