Nobody
is complaining they didn't get a QSL card from the alleged
operation.

Correct. I QSL'd 100%.

It's easy to do when there's nothing to send.

Tsk, tsk. Nursie still trying to invent a stinging rebuke and his
stinger got broke so long ago that he can't even muster a good
rash...
:-)

"Nothing to send."

100% of nothing is zero (0). I sent out a few more than one (1) QSL
card.

That you may have sent out "QSL" cards is not at issue. That you
sent out
QSL cards confirming your activites from Somalia are.

What IS at issue is the validity of the operation (it wasn't) and
whom you
may have had QSO's with (you refuse to state).

So far, you've not provided us with anything more than a claim
that you
operated from Somalia.

Even if you DID "operate" from Somalia, from your own words in
THIS forum
it's apparent that you did not have legal sanction to do what you
allege to ahve done, ergo the cards are invalid for ANY purpose other
than a keepsake.

No Proof = Didn't Happen.

Don't forget, the requirements for DXCC are far more stringent than those
of mere legality. I have seen threads before where people have argued past
oneanother on this point, i.e. one of them has used the term 'legal' when
they were really talking about DXCC eligibility, a big mistake.

For example, operation without the permission of the owner of the land or
building is not valid for DXCC, but it is seldom illegal. More to the point
in this case, perhaps(?), operation from a war zone is legal with
permission of whoever appears to be in control, but good luck getting it
approved for DXCC.
