QSL 8Q7ZZ ---> Phil Whitchurch, G3SWH reports has replied to all direct
requests for 8Q7ZZ received so far.
QSL VK9LS ---> Trevor, VK7TS reports that some QSL cards for the recent VK9LS
expedition are being sent to VK7LS (Lima Sierra) - this is incorrect. The
correct route is via VK7TS (Tango Sierra).
QSL VQ9LA ---> Larry, VQ9LA reminds DXers that cards should be sent to Larry
Arneson, PSC 466 Box 24 (DG-21 Annex 30), FPO AP 96595-0024, USA. Cards
without return postage will be bundle up and sent via the bureau after 6
months. QSLs sent to his home call (WD0HSP) may take longer than the bureau
to get, because Larry goes back to the US only once a year.
QSL VIA PA5ET ---> Rob reports that all direct QSLs for the recent LLDXT
(http://www.qsl.net/lldxt) OY operation have been processed and mailed.
Direct cards without return postage will be sent via the bureau. Please
refrain from sending registered letters, as they are not collected. If for
any reason you want to send your request by registered mail, please contact
Rob (pa5et@muurkrant.com) in advance so that he can give another proper
address.
TIMOR LESTE ---> The following press release comes from Stu Greene, WA2MOE
and it is being quoted verbatim:
<<The United Nations no longer is in control and independence was won by the
East Timorese on May 20, 2002. An application for new entity status will be
filed together with an application to delete of the former 4W territory as an
entity under DXCC rules.
Article 5 of the treaty between Portugal and Indonesia of May 5, 1999 removed
East Timor from the list of Non-Self-Governing Territories of the General
Assembly and the deletion of the question of East Timor from the agendas of
the Security Council and the General Assembly. The treaty , witnessed by the
Secretary General of the United Nations, did not make the United Nations the
administrator of East Timor but did provide for UN humanitarian assistance.
Article 7 requested "the Secretary-General to maintain an adequate United
Nations presence in East Timor."
The DX Advisory and Awards Committees quite possibly misinterpreted the
language of the treaty as conferring status of East Timor as a UN
administered territory which in fact was not the case. Only when the
referendum authorized by the treaty was held and the East Timorese people
declared themselves independent was there a new entity.
The role of UNTAET (UN Transitional Administration in East Timor) was
humanitarian and peacekeeping and was not a quasi-government authorized to
issue amateur radio licenses. UNTAET did not have the authority to issue
amateur radio licenses; it was a peacekeeping mission and only after the
referendum was there a Ministry of Communications which does have that
authority.
The text of the treaty for those interested is at
http://www.un.org/peace/etimor99/agreement/agreeFrame_Eng01.html
If ARRL agrees, the UN sanctioned operations in East Timor would be deleted
on the ground that East Timor was not an entity under the rules and a new
entity, would be created effective 20 May 2002, the date of the creation of
the East Timorese state. Democratic Republic of Timor Leste became a UN state
on 27 September, 2002.
ITU has reassigned 4WA-4WZ to the Democratic Republic of Timor Leste on 23
April, 2003.>>
