That's not what I said. There's no reason to rework SUDAN again. But the new nation of Southern Sudan (or whatever name the country ultimately ends up with) is not, for DXCC purposes, the same entity as the now-deleted entity of the autonomous region of Southern Sudan. The fact that t

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 gr

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 si

ST0 is a different country before and after they split. What if you worked ST0 and they were operating from what is now South Sudan (but which was Sudan before)? Which country did you really work, Sudan or South Sudan? Not in this case ... ST0 was a self-governing territory within Sudan. It w
