I thought we were long past this but the German Group using 3V8DLH would not
work 4X1IO on 7062 SSB today at 0300Z. He said India Ocean go ahead but
when the station identified as 4X1IO (both stations were S9 in Atlanta) 3V8
came back on with
QRZ.

I know the DL hams were following the Tunesia rules but amateur radio should
be above politics!

They have to follow the local rules. If not they face arrest, deportation,
jail time and might prevent the future issuing of licenses to foreigners.

The last thing that any ham should do is to arrive in a foreign country,
set up a station and start breaking the local laws. It's bad for them
and it's bad for ham radio.

The trouble with being a futurist is that when people get around to believing
you, it's too late. We lost. Google 2,000,000:Hams 0.

It might have just been propagation. He may not have heard the 4X even
though you did.

No human endeavour is above politics. It's nice if people try, I guess,
but it should not surprise anyone if they don't.
