[DX-NEWS] ARRL RESPONDS ABOUT P5/OH2BH LICENSE

2002-03-13 Thread MGB
Question: Hi Bill, Lately there have been several posts on the DX and NEWS reflectors concerning the North Korea Radio License issued to Martii Lane (OH2BH). In view of recent developments concerning YT1AD and P5/4L4FN there is some doubt in the Amateur community that a valid license was

I fully agree with the proposal that if P5 authorities refuse twice to issue a written license, they should be removed from the list until the problem is resolved thru the ITU. Don't forget, Marti Lane left them a complete amateur radion station. 73 Russ W4UBC Jim wrote: I have a feeling this

Having met Marti and worked several of his expeditions(but not P5) I sincerely doubt that he did anything illegal or underhanded(i.e. Romeo Stepanako). I recall him being among the most respected DXers world-wide. 73 Russ W4UBC MGB wrote: Question: Hi Bill, Lately there have been several

Well said, Bernie, I notice many of the most voiciferous are not in Ed's log. It would seem that in the very rigorous North Korean environment, no one would try to get on the air unless he had permission of some sort to operate. Hrane is an example of those that did not get on the air...I am

Hi guys, Here is something to think about... As far as Hrane, YT1AD is concerned, North Korea apparently gave him ample reason why he shouldn't transmit(!) It might be interesting to know why he wasn't allowed to transmit, but he wasn't, and we missed the opportunity. On the other hand, Ed,
