[ADXA] SV/A No News

[The Romagni's]

Having seen previous dx presentations in regards to operating from Mt Athos
(https://youtu.be/0qbk0YyYFmE), getting to the place is not that hard, and
getting a permit, well filling a CEPT application will give you
authorization to use your call from there, as MT Athos is well part of
Greece; it is just a place that it is managed by a religious organization!

Now the question comes in getting the paperwork so that the ARRL will count
for it, there is a memorandum that shows that pretty much you need a
written permission signed by all of the authorities of the 20 holy
monasteries, so my guess here, is that this might not be the case for this
operation! and well something happens that we might or might never know,
but the monks really want to keep things under control there... if you ever
see the 60 minutes special on Mt Athos, you will understand what happens
there... I mean the place is still officially under Byzantine time!

Anyway, let's wait and see to hear what really happened (if we ever do
hear, otherwise it will be part of another DX Conspiracy story we all can
talk about...)
