Many thanks for your reply, and I appreciate what you have said in relation to the current standing of the "Northern Alliance" as the UN recognised administration. In that light the operation from YA should be deemed accepatable for DXCC of course. However, your reply raises another matter that is of concern.. >I do not believe in requiring some form of "license" as an exercise in itself. Surely this flies in the face of everything that DXCC always stood for,where does that leave operations like the German guys who came on from Yemen as 7O1YGF with apparent verbal permission but who did not complete the "execise" of getting a license. >If you have further questions, please don't hesitate to ask me >directly. > >73, Wayne Mills, N7NG/1, Mgr. > Membership Services Department > I appreciate that you asked me to correspond directly but as my original question was in the public forum and has generated some debate and as I believe this issue is of great importance to DXers perhaps you won't mind sharing your thoughts on this issue. 73 de Declan EI6FR >-----Original Message----- >From: Declan Craig [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 2:00 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: [DX-NEWS] YA5T ?? > > >Hello DXers > >great to see Peter ON6TT and the guys on form YA.
