The space is limited. You can do one of two things: - Create a new Kosovo DXCC entity and map YU8 to it (see my app. note for an error-free process for creating a new entity). - Just map the YU8 prefix to another entity you have NEVER worked. Either way, those spots will come up Yellow. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/?, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 16 13:16:20 2008 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Jim Reisert AD1C) Date: Sat Feb 16 13:21:23 2008 Subject: [Dx4win] Kosovo Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The DXCC rules are very clear about when a political entity can be added to the DXCC list: http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html#sii An Entity will be added to the DXCC List as a Political Entity if it meets one or more of the following criteria: a) The entity is a UN Member State. b) The entity has been assigned a callsign prefix bloc by the ITU. It WILL take at least one of these two events to occur in order for Kosovo to be added to the list. At that time, I will release a new DX4WIN country file, not before. The fact that N7NG, OH2BH and W3UR are in Kosovo may be considered an optimistic sign. 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C/?, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, http://www.ad1c.us From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Feb 16 14:57:06 2008 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (F6EXV) Date: Sat Feb 16 15:02:09 2008 Subject: [Dx4win] Kosovo In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> References: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello all What you list as criteria is right, but there are more, like the inclusion in the US Department of State list of special sovereignty territories, which allowed for FJ to become a new one. For Kosovo to become a UN member will take time (Russia might veto it....) For Kosovo to get its own ITU prefix wuill take time (look at T9 supposed to be using E7 for quite a while already) For Kosovo to be addeds to the above mentioned US DoS list may take time (it took them 5 months for FJ) So relax !!!!! The present YU8 is only Serbia, until further notice .... 73 Paul F6EXV TO5FJ Jim Reisert AD1C wrote: > The DXCC rules are very clear about when a political entity can be > added to the DXCC list: > > http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/rules.html#sii > > An Entity will be added to the DXCC List as a Political Entity if it > meets one or more of the following criteria: > > a) The entity is a UN Member State. > > b) The entity has been assigned a callsign prefix bloc by the ITU. > > It WILL take at least one of these two events to occur in order for > Kosovo to be added to the list.
