Strays	Add a Stray!

There was a great reprint recently on E-Ham about living with PEP. Brought up a good question. I know many modern rigs support 1.8KHz tx bandwidth and TCXOs for use on 60M, but given what was in the article, how can we know precisely that we're running 50 watts? I set my 746Pro for what should be about 10 watts on a non-peak reading meter when running 60M, because I'm afraid of calibration issues making me illegal. 73 de K9CTB k9ctb@comcast.net

DXCC Status
A contributor states, "Currently there are only two countries that do not issue Amateur Radio licenses to their citizens, Yemen and North Korea. Thousand of deserving Ham's worldwide who enjoy working DX are shut out of any hope of obtaining the #1 Top of the Honor Roll status due to this. It would seem rational that these two countries (and any others who take a similar position) should be deleted from the official DXCC list in view of this. Why recognize a country on the DXCC list that does not recognize Amateur Radio? What say you?"
