[TNX Bill Moore, NC1L, DXCC Manager] JD1BLL ---> Mack, JJ2QXI reports that the station signing JD1BLL or JD1BLL/JD1 is most likely to be a pirate. "According to the information available at http://www.k-denkan.go.jp/faq/atfaq/atfuyo.html this callsign has not been assigned yet", he says. "Japanese callsign is by alphabetical order, and the last one is JD1BKZ as of February 21, 2002." NORTH KOREA WRAP-UP ---> The following release comes from Hrane, YT1AD through Nenad, VE3EXY: "We arrived to Pyongyang on March 5th, where we were welcomed by representatives of Ministry of Telecommunications and Foreign Affairs. We were stationed in Yangakdo Hotel, on the bank of the river with the same name. The hotel has 47 floors, and we were on the 40-th floor, with almost ideal conditions for work. All our equipment was put together, and we were about to start our operation with previously assigned callsign P5A. Unexpectedly the uniformed military official appeared, and imposed ban on our operation, until the permission of military authorities is obtained. It was supposed to be available on March 8th, but nobody showed up, possibly because of holiday. We did not want to risk starting unauthorized operation. Meanwhile we had fun listening all pirates pretending to be us, when we did not make a single contact. Finally, the military official showed up on Sunday and simply said: 'No transmission until further notice.' Than we did not have any choice but to leave. After landing in Beijing, our only comment was: Never Again !!!"
