Subject: Call Area Etiquette
From: PAMNO (N2EY) Date: 6/5/2004 6:59 PM Central Standard Time Message-id: In article , Dave Heil writes: 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 However even there there are international agreements on who can grant what authority, to whom, and under what circumstances. 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. He won't even provide us with the callsign of ONE station he "worked" while in Somalia. No proof = Didn't happen. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
