Re: [DX-NEWS] Mount Athos bad(?) news
Hi Bernie I 'll do that for sure but i already know the answer and you can guess this. I simply asked him to be on the air again as i did in past (February activity)and he told me that he can not do it anymore because his radio is burned before 2 months. I didn't asked it for me but for all of you who want a new one and you would like the Mount Athos for dxcc. I have already worked him. The radio is not a priority for him and we all must understand it. He has more important things to do. It is difficult for all of us to understand it but let's try. After the call, I just told the bad news to everyone. I didn't asked a radio and he didn't it of course. The previous radio was donated, as i know, from a JA station. If someone wants to donate a radio to Monk Apollo, i can give him his address and maybe his phone number to call him. I am not authorizied to gather money for a new radio as many of you proposed. A lot of people told the same things. "We can give you radio, amplifier, antenna, etc" BUT you must let us to operate... But he can not do this. Monk Apollo can not help anyone to operate from Mount Athos. Monk Apollo does not give any license. Only the Holy Council gives the licenses and Monk Apollo is not either a member in Holy Council If you mean to operate with his call you must know this. The last time who someone was operated from his shack was a DL man as i know. The Holy Council learned it and told to Monk Apollo that is illegal and not to do it again because they will get his license back. So neither this can be done. Bernie i must thank you for all your tries to give some dx to all of us. I have worked you like ah3d for a new one and thank you. I am a subsciber to daily dx for the last 3 years as you know and you help me very much to have 305 dxcc entities today. But as i explain you in past again is very difficult for someone to get a license and operate form Mount Athos today. I don't like it also. As you know, Mount Athos belongs to Greece and i don't like that there is a place in my country that i can not go to operate. But i am trying to understand that there are some reasons for this and i must respect it. By the way the ultimate dx for all Europeans it seems to be 4U1UN. A rare dxcc entity in middle of New York. I worked this but i know many hams in Greece that need this. Can you help us for this?
