• QSL S05X ---> Toni, EA5RM reports that the S05X cards have arrived from the printer and confirmations were expected to start on 9 June. The operation has been approved for DXCC credit.
• TIMOR LESTE ---> Stu Greene, WA2MOE reports that a petition has been filed with the Chief Executive Officer of ARRL "seeking removal of UNTAET (United Nations Transitional Administration in East Timor) from the DXCC entities list and for the addition of Timor Leste as an entity. The DXCC rule under which 4W was added reads: 'The entity has been assigned a call sign prefix bloc by the ITU. 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'. The assignment was not ratified and UNTAET returned it to ITU which has reissued the block 4WA-4WZ to Timor Leste. It is the position of JA1BK and myself", says WA2MOE, "that the addition of 4W to the DXCC entities list was premature and that a mistake was made".
