The reason why comments are closed on all of 3z9dx posts is that he threatened legal action against dx-world because he didn’t like what some people were writing about him.
To avoid any more hassle I simply closed off comments. This says more about an individual than it does DX-World.

Hello Col
It is disappointing that you have not opened up the 3d2cr iota situation for comments.
Where are we at with the hobby of dxing when an Awards Manager is throwing around qso definitions which include the phrase “contemporaneous direct initiation”. What does this even mean? “Contemporaneous” actually means two events occurring at the same time? No qso in dxing, whether it be phone, cw or digital is contemporaneous!
Next these guys will be mandating gender and racial diversity quotas for IOTA dxpedition teams.
I loved chasing islands (had 1090 confirmed) but I dropped out of the program about three years ago and requested all my data be deleted from the IOTA system – I just cannot stomach the way in which this program is managed.
I get the arguments re digital modes but this idea that somehow we are introducing operator skill by requiring a dxpeditioner to sit there and press an “enter” key every 60 seconds is just a joke. There is zero operator skill in digital mode qsos whether the computer be “manned” or “unmanned”. The operator skill comes in building the digital communications system, getting it out to a remote island and keeping it running under the stresses of a hostile environment (refer what w7gj is going through on his eme dxpedition right now – failed amp – bad weather – it is not the fact that he is pressing an enter key – or not- that defines the value of his dxpeditioning prowess or indeed the value of the qso to those who manage to contact him.)
