Is there a different Timor now ?
 

I keep hearing that there is now a seperate new DXCC country in the Timor
Islands other then East Timor.
Anyone know anything about this ?

ARRL has rules no new country...only the same 4W since 2000.

The UN mandate/whatever ended so the country has a new name which is
throwing everyone off...it's called Timor L'Este (although most don't
punctuate it correctly and write Timor Leste) which means (in
French)...you guess it...East Timor.


Actually, Scott, it's not French but Portuguese, so it is Leste. It used
to be a Portuguese colony. The country's official name: Republica
Democratica Timor Leste.
