Good question. In fact now the DXCC Desk is accepting operations from the different provinces based on multiple licensing authorities. Personally I think it is a good thing as there is no central government in Somalia. Some of the provinces are issuing 6O calls whiles others are issuing T5 calls.

I was reading an article today and this line caught my eye: "Somalia has had no effective government since 1991, when warlords ousted a dictatorship and then turned on each other, carving the nation of 8.2 million into a patchwork of fiefdoms." (from http://www.boston.com/news/odd/articles/2006/01/22/us_navy_seizes_pirate_shi p_off_somalia/ ) So how does the ARRL determine whether a license was issued by the proper authority? 73 - Jim AD1C -- Jim Reisert AD1C, 7 Charlemont Court, North Chelmsford, MA 01863 USA +978-251-9933, [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ad1c.us Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
