My DOK's Hunting insanity

I can not explain why excactly i am so excited to collect DOK's (German Districts) ....
Since 1990 i started to collect DL Stations more then any other European country .
Last weekend i spent about 7 hrs and counted all my DL Qsls and made some statistics .
Updated to 17/02/07 i Got 719 DOK's confirmed , have about more then 3000 DL Qsls , 50 German Club Stations confirmed and about "Only" 15 Sonder-Dok's (Special events stations counted as special DOK's) .

My total Dok's hrd number is 1067 .
The DOK List can be found here .
though this page really needs an update , since it dated as '95 .
I Got some Dok's that are not listed in the list :

Z94-Havelland .
Y43-Kraupa .
Y42-Andreasberg .
N61-Paderborn-Elsen .
G55- Bonn .

...and some more DELETED ones wich are not listed anymore .
There is an Updated list for the "Most Wanted Dok's" , dated 2004 , look here .
i have 56 Dok's from this list ! including Z44-Passau & Z76 -Landshut !

anyway , i am a DoK fun and i am planning to get the DLD-H probably when i will have 1000 Dok's Confirmed...hi hi

Details about the DLD award can be found here .

The Conditions for Swls to get the DLD-H have been reduced over the years , since about 10 years ago you had to get at least 3 Qsls Cfm'ed for each Dok , today you need just one Qsl for each DoK .
