OK, we're having a little fun over yonder about the Diamond DXCC Challenge.

For those not following it, simply put, since Jim isn't a League member, he's not eligible for the certificate. So I've offered, when he accomplishes said goal, to print one up for him.

While this started out as a joke amongst friends (we are all friends aren't we? Aren't we? Bueller? Bueller?)... I hereby propose to seriously do this... as an Unofficial Island of Misfit Hams "Diamond DX" challenge.

Simply put: All ARRL DDXCCC rules apply. Eligibility: Anyone who qualifies for the DDXCCC, regardless of whether or not you're a League member. (In short, work 100 "countries" or "entities" based on the original pre-WW2 DXCC list)

Cost: To be determined, but basically, shipping or mailing cost. Well, except Jim, since I already promised him one, so he gets a freebie.

Now: The Certificate design. Clearly it will have a tropical theme. But we can have a little fun with it... black helicopters, tacos, Motorola APU's, UT's standing by, a particular Johnny Cash single, the main mechanical protaganist from a certain Spielberg movie to represent... well, you'll figure it out... and so forth.

Waddya think?
