The operation has been approved for DXCC credit. TIMOR LESTE ---> Stu Greene, WA2MOE reports that a petition has been filed with the Chief Executive Officer of ARRL "seeking removal of UNTAET (United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor) from the DXCC entities list and for the addition of Timor Leste as an entity. The DXCC rule under which 4W was added reads: 'The entity has been assigned a call sign prefix bloc by the ITU. A provisional prefix bloc assignment may be made by the Secretary General of ITU. Should such provisional assignments not be ratified later by the full ITU, the Entity will be removed from the DXCC List'. The assignment was not ratified and UNTAET returned it to ITU which has reissued the block 4WA-4WZ to Timor Leste. It is the position of JA1BK and myself", says WA2MOE, "that the addition of 4W to the DXCC entities list was premature and that a mistake was made". + SILENT KEY + Javi, LU9HS reports the sad news of the passing of Alberto Granata, LU5HN, one of the most active DXers in Argentina. _____________________________________________________________________________ =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** *** NEWS FROM THE WEB *** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH BV9L: Information and pictures of the recent operation from AS-155 are available at http://www3.ocn.ne.jp/~iota/newpage60.htm [TNX JI6KVR] _____________________________________________________________________________ =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* QSL INFO ******** =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH =================================================================== CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER CALL MANAGER =================================================================== 3A2DX pirate F/ON6JUN/P ON6BV TE75VW TI0RC 3XY1L UY5XE FG5FC F6DZU TM0AR F5TJC 3Z3OL SP3OL FO/F5RQQ F8NAN TM3OR F6HMJ 4U1WRC 4U1ITU HF25KVW SP5KVW TM3QK F5UJY 4W3DX TF3MM HF650O SQ4NR TM5SC F5ASD 5B4AHJ G3PMR HI3HN OE7NHT TM6ACO F6KFI 5H3RK VK4VB HK3JJH/2 HK3JJH TM6D F5RPB 5H4CM IV3RTL HK8RQS/P EA5KB TM6JDD F4OOQ 5N0EAM IK2IQD HS0/OZ1HET OZ1ACB TM6JUN F5RJM 5N0NHD JH8BKL HS0ZCW K4VUD TM6SME F6IPS 5X1CW F6GQK HS0ZEH W6ZIP TM7HAM F6KWP 6V1A 6W6JX II5BEM IK5DND TM9C F5IN 7Q7BP G3MRC JR8XXQ/JD1 JR8XXQ UA9ZZ EA5OL 7W4HI OM3CGN KH2M JA6EGL UE1RRC/1 RA1QQ 9A0PAX 9A7K KH9/N4BQW KB6NAN UE3EDA RZ3EC 9A100IP 9A1RKA KH9/N6XIV K2FF UE9AAA UA9AB 9G1YK PA3ERA L28OO LU4OC UK8OB IK2QPR 9H3MR IK1PMR MD3LCR/P M3LCR UR4VWA/p UR7VA 9J2BO G3TEV OH0CO SM6CCO UT4UZA/P UX7UN 9J2GS PA3CPG OZ/G0GRC G0RCI V63MB UA4WHX 9M2TO/P JA0DMV OZ4DI OZ1HPS V73VV UA4WHX 9N7DX 4Z4DX PA9MR VE3MR VK6KN JA1CIC 9N7YL 4Z4DX R1ZSM UA1ZJW VP9/W9AEB WF9V A41KJ N5FTR RK0LWW/P UA0LMO VQ9NL W4NML BU2/JJ1TBB JL1ANP RL4Y RK4YYY VQ9TP N5TP BV4CT NO0C RW6AWW/p RW6CW WX4NHC W4VBQ BV9AAC BV2KI SB7OOJ SM5CAK XW1IC E21EIC BV9L BV4YB SN0KAL SP3PKL YI/S57CQ S57DX CJ2DW VA2DW SN750SR SP3KUJ YI/W5ACP W5ACP CO0M bureau SN750Z SP6KYU ZA3/IK2DUW IK2DUW CQ5AA CT1RVM SP8RX/1 DJ0IF ZA3/IK6CAC IK6CAC CS7AL CT1BXE SU9BN EA7FTR ZA3/IK7JWX IK7JWX DF0MF DL1BIZ SX8X SV8ENI ZA3/IK7LMX IK7LMX EL2AR EL2BA SX9G SV2DGH ZA3/IV3FSG IK3GES EN40QPG UY5YY T21MY OM2SA ZA3/IZ0CKJ IZ0CKJ EX0V N6FF T2YL OM2SA ZA3/IZ2DPX IZ2DPX EX10R EX2A T32Z K3PD ZB2FX G3RFX _____________________________________________________________________________ =========================== *** 4 2 5 D X N E W S *** ******* ADDRESSES ******* =========================== Edited by I1JQJ & IK1ADH 4U1UN P.O.
