I'm confused - if there is no reason, as Ron explains, to work ST0 again, why is NCDXF financially supporting a dx-pedition? K1VSK
Glenn Johnson, W0GJ, NCDXF Vice President, sent out the following on July 6th: "The Northern California DX Foundation (NCDXF) is pleased to announce a major grant to the Intrepid DX Group <http://www.intrepid-dx.com/> and the DX Friends <http://www.dxfriends.com/> who have joined together to activate the new entity of the Republic of Southern Sudan. Licensing is imminent and operation could begin in the next few days. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Notarius W3WN To: DX-CHAT@njdxa.org Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2011 7:27 PM Subject: RE: [DX-CHAT] South Sudan Forgive me for being, ah, late to the party, but we were out of town for the weekend (anyone want to see pictures of my grandson?) and I'm just now getting caught up on my email. We had to work Germany again, after the reunification? I must have missed the memo on that one. I THOUGHT that since the former German Democratic Republic (East) got absorbed into the existing Federal Republic of Germany (West), for DXCC purposes, since the FRG survived, it still "counts" as the same entity, even if we now simply refer to it as Germany. So there's no reason to re-work the existing Sudan. For precedent, look at Serbia nee Yugoslavia. As independence came to one, ah, component of Yugoslavia after another, the new nations became new DXCC entities, but the original entity remained - just smaller. 73, ron w3wn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: kf...@njdxa.org [mailto:kf...@njdxa.org] On Behalf Of Jim Abercrombie Sent: Saturday, July 09, 2011 6:35 PM To: DX-CHAT@njdxa.org Subject: [DX-CHAT] South Sudan I remember when Germany-East and West was counted as one country. Then they were counted as two and we had to work them both again. When they were united , we worked Germany again. I wonder if we are going to have to work both Sudans again.Only the DXAC knows. ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.
