[ADXA] SV/A - A Little Follow Up & History

[w5zn at w5zn.org]

ADXA Folks,

 

So, we wait on "hot stby" to find out what will happen on Mt. Athos, ADXA's
#11 most needed. The folks on Mt. Athos are not shyster's, but well
respected radio amateurs, especially Adrian who we have all met at our ADXA
conference in 2023. I'm sure they did not begin this effort without being
confident they had the correct and full authority to operate.

 

The religious leaders at the monastery are very strict in their control.
This is not the first time an operation has been stalled. I recall Baldur,
DJ6SI, (who did have some "questionable" DXpeditions) attempted an op from
Mt. Athos under the European CEPT agreement and he was shut down and shot
out of the saddle by the religious leaders because he did not have
permission from them. Plus I don't believe he was actually on top of Mt.
Athos at the monastery!! Bill, K5FUV, our resident DXCC "go to guy" may have
some follow up. I'm sure Bernie, W3UR, will have full details as soon as he
has valid, confirmed information to pass on. Bernie is very good to wait
until he has facts and does not pass on hearsay.

 

So, for the moment we QRX and see what happens. This may just be a simple
matter of providing further clarification of the intent to the religious
leaders and Martti and company can fire back up. Hopefully we will have some
clarification today.
