[ADXA] Turkmenistan Question

[J Ferguson]

Yea Joel, but for me Turkmenistan may be my P5… but I digress, as I said my comment may cause some flame mail to be sent my way.

I did find that Turkmenistan is still reported as an IARU Member and the current mailing address and phone number follows.
Currently EZ is the ADXA Membership’s number 8 most wanted entity.

From the ARRL Web Site - Turkmenistan (EZ)
The only information that we have on file is the name and address of their IARU member society. That is: 

Liga Radiolyubiteley Turkmenistana <http://www.iaru.org/iaru-soc.html>
At this time the United States does not share a reciprocal agreement or a third-party traffic agreement with that country.

>> In June, 2010, Bill Moore, of the ARRL DXCC Desk, confirmed  that EZ7V counts for DXCC only until 2006-12-31.
>> Club Log maps EZ QSOs as INVALID, starting 2007-01-01.
>>  
>> Note: The term INVALID in Club Log only means that the QSO is not valid for DXCC.
