About 10 days ago I posted a question about the DXCC status of 4U1VIC. I
received many and somewhat varied responses. I am including for your
review and excellent response from Horst-OE1OLW that should further
enlighten many on the blurred status of the station. 73,Pete-K8PT

-- Dear pete, read your query concerning the status of 4U1VIC. This is
the station of the Vienna International
Amateur Radio Club. It is located at the Vienna International Centre in
Vienna which is NOT Austrian but
extra-territorial area. Nevertheless, ARRL ignores this status and does
not recognize it as a separate entity,
but as part of Austria, thereby flagrantly disregarding international
negotiations between the UN (of which the
US are a Meber State) and the Govt of Austria.  A Press release will
clarify this odd situation in the near future.
It is correct that 4U1VIC is being recognized as a distinct entity for
the Worked-All-Europe Award. 
 73, Horst H. Eisenlohr, OE3OLW, former (1.) president of the VIARC.
