We don't know that T5/N0IMD existed.
I think it did.
Why? Because he "said so"...?!?!
No one seems to have worked it. It doesn't show up in packet
cluster records. It doesn't show up in DXCC applications. You must
have cancelled everything through Google.
Maybe.
Or consider this:
Suppose you and I found ourselves in a place with no functioning government.
Suppose we had radio sets capable of operation on amateur frequencies. Say on
2 meters, or 440, or 6 meters, or whatever.
Suppose whatever authority existed there at the time said it was OK for us to
use the radio sets.
Could we not work each other and use our stateside callsigns?
Could we not keep logbooks and exchange QSL cards?
Sure you can...ie: Antarctica
When are you leaving for this DX hot-spot? :-)
However even there there are international agreements on who can grant
what
authority, to whom, and under what circumstances.
The ITU doesn't list nursie as one of those "authorities." :-)
Brain was allegedly in a military unit under United Nations auspices, and
it seems he did NOTHING to get the PROPER authorizations to do what he
CLAIMED to do.
Nursie has claimed a LOT of things in here and NEVER offered any
"proof."
[190 proof doesn't count...]
He won't even provide us with the callsign of ONE station he "worked"
while in Somalia.
No proof = Didn't happen.
No proof of "hostile actions" = Didn't happen.
No proof of all those ham claims = Didn't happen.
Your "proofing filter" is mistuned...
