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?"

My station is my link to the world. Small but effective. I use a Icom IC-706MkIIG, LDG AT-11MP Autotuner, and have 2 Zepp flattop antennas. Hope to see you on the air. 73 de Korey--YI9VCQ
