[DX] DXCC & Kosova

[George Huling]

FYI,

Wonder when the event date is?

Since their signing YU8 doesn't sound like ITU acted yet.

It would take long time to join UN as they act very slowly.

But would work YU8/OH2R anyway.

YU8BH is not Martti but a Dr. in Serbia.

So, Kosovo will be added to the DXCC list if it becomes a member of the UN,
or (2), if it receives a prefix bloc from the ITU. The third condition does
not apply. The date upon which either (1) or (2) occurs will be the event
date.

Kosova and Adding New Countries to DXCC

Naturally there are many questions about the DXCC status of Kosova, and
whether or not it will be added to the DXCC list.

The DXCC rules, which were modified in 2000 to better handle inclusion to
DXCC, are clear on how additions can be made:

For inclusion in the DXCC List, conditions as set out below must be met.
Listing is not contingent upon whether operation has occurred or will occur,
but only upon the qualifications of the Entity. 

Political Entities, Geographical Entities, Special Areas 

#1, Political Entities is the category with which we are concerned with
respect to Kosova.

1. Political Entities: 

Political Entities are those areas which are separated by reason of
government or political division. They generally contain an indigenous
population which is not predominantly composed of military or scientific
personnel. 

An Entity will be added to the DXCC List as a Political Entity if it meets
one or more of the following criteria: 

a) The entity is a UN Member State. 

b) The entity has been assigned a callsign prefix bloc by the ITU. (The
exceptions to this rule are international organizations, such as the UN and
ICAO. These Entities are classified under Special Areas, 3.a); and
Ineligible Areas, 4.b).) A provisional prefix bloc assignment may be made by
the Secretary General of ITU. Should such provisional assignments not be
ratified later by the full ITU, the Entity will be removed from the DXCC
List. 

c) The Entity contains a permanent population, is administered by a local
government, and is located at least 800 km from its parent. To satisfy the
"permanent population" and "administered by a local government" criteria of
this sub-section, an Entity must be listed on either (a) the U.S. Department
of State's list of "Dependencies and Areas of Special Sovereignty" as having
a local "Administrative Center," or (b) the United Nations list of
"Non-Self-Governing Territories." 

New Entities satisfying one or more of the conditions above will be added to
the DXCC List by administrative action as of their "Event Date." 

So, Kosovo will be added to the DXCC list if it becomes a member of the UN,
or (2), if it receives a prefix bloc from the ITU. The third condition does
not apply. The date upon which either (1) or (2) occurs will be the event
date.
