4S7DXG no PIRATE!
Mario, 4S7BRG (HB9BRM) writes following: "If you read the latest DX
bulletins and comments on the web many OMs get eliglible doubts about
4S7DXG. Even in one one the last DXNLs I read "4S7DXG - Pirate" again. I
have visited him today on Apr 17,2008, and while dicussing I asked him
also to show his license. Ivans transmitting license for Sri Lanka
(4S7DXG) is valid from Jan 1, 2008, until May 1, 2008. The time before
Jan 1, 2008, where he operated from Sri Lanka is a grey area but Ivan,
UR9IDX filed his application to extend his licence in Colombo already in
November or December. The regulation authority TRCSL is only an
executive office but the OK (Yes or No) originally comes from the
defence ministry which takes some time. Ivan, 4S7DXG (UR9IDX) says he
will go back to the Ukraine during the next one or two weeks but but
still wants to recover from his broken leg. I hope I have helped out
with my little contribution. Vy 73 de Mario, 4S7BRG." [DX Newsletter]
