It is sad that a simple but clear statement of the recent KP5 operation can not just be published, apparently. Full disclosure will make everyone sit easier.

However, after being somewhat involved in operations in XW, VU4, 9N, A5, and so on, I also know that sometimes nothing can be said without making matters bad. In some places, as many of you know, there is really not one authority to grant ham licenses and sometimes not any authority and sometimes competing authorities. ARRL DX desk --by human limitations-- just can not know exactly the situation in some countries, too.

I have it on good authority, for example, that dear Father Moran 9N1MM, never did hold an actual ham license there, yet his contacts count for DXCC.

I guess in the end, we just have to be patient and compassionate for dificult situations. After all, if all DXing were easy, would we still chase it so ardently? 73
