I understand why dxcc can not pre-judge any one operation for validation for
dxcc credit..... have to wait until the op is actually done.
HOWEVER, surely dxcc could tell what kind of documentation is necessary from
any one entity or another, and be able to name the local official who will
approve an op that dxcc will also approve. In my case, still a sore point,
dxcc would not tell me who was the key official to contact in Lao (PDRL),
although immediately after my op, dxcc was able to go directly to a Lao
official to check on me. Why not just tell me that guy's name in advance
and save all my QSOs the pain of getting my XW1UD card that does not count.
I would never expect prior approval before the actual op, but surely
whatever validation procedure will occur just after the op could be shared
BEFORE the op.
Further, several entities have a confusing or non-existing ways of getting
ham op permissions. Lao had three offices, then, all claiming to be THE
only one needed. There is no way someone in CT can have the detailed
knowledge of the inner workings of some entities governments (or lack of
same) so apparently just go on whatever comes up at the time. When a system
refuses nice looking PAPER signed by folks who seem to be ok, and
nevertheless OKs a tape recorded approval that is allowed to count, things
appear decidedly ad hoc.
My thot is.... if the op has photo proof of presence in the entity,
operates, and departs without being arrested, then it should count..... Not
being evicted nor arrested to me is proof the local authorities approved. I
think, on the other hand, if an op is evicted (or arrested) that is obvious
evidence that the op was bogus.
I still want to get approval to activate an iceberg..... 73
