OF BELAU (ATTENTION PREFIX HUNTERS!). *Jim Hood, WV5S, President of the Oklahoma DX Association has informed the DX/Contest community of the following statement: In 1994, Belau (Palau) declared its independence from the USA. Consequently, the KC6 prefix needed to be replaced by a new unassigned prefix. The prefix T8 has been assigned to Belau. Oklahoma DX Association members N5OK and N5CG have now activated the T8 prefix for the first time as T88T. Hope this helps. 73 Phil W9IXX --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

However, it was also being used by the Principality of Seborga in May of 1995. Talk about confusing! I don't know who had it in 1981. T8 may have been one of the many prefixes used by South African homelands, i.e.: S4 (Ciskei) = ZS S8 (Transkei) = ZS T4 (Venda) = ZS H5 (Bophutatswana) = ZS V9 (Venda) = ZS (ref: http://www.arrl.org/awards/dxcc/prefix_refs.html) But that's just speculation. T8 was used from Seborga starting May 1995 (ref: http://freenet-homepage.de/dl8aam/Seborga.html) T8 was allocated by the ITU to Palau in 1996 (see above reference). I think that T8UZA is a busted call. I found a 1994 QSO with I8UZA in my log, and I could be mistaken for T if hand-written. 73 - Jim AD1C p.s. I have an extensive list of KC6 calls that were used from W. Caroline/Palau, send me yours and I'll cross-check. -- Jim Reisert AD1C, jjreis...@alum.mit.edu, http://www.ad1c.us --- To unsubscribe or subscribe to this list.

I didn't think Palau had the T8 prefix in 1981. I thought it was still KC6 back then, up to about 2002. 73, Zack W9SZ On Sat, Nov 28, 2009 at 4:52 PM, Shack sh...@ws4v.net wrote: I've been trying to work the Palau DXpedition absolutely no luck.
