[Dx-qsl] xt2 question

[Htorr@aol.com]

  I think the rule has something to do with the changing of the geography of 
the country.  The old Czechoslovakia include what is now the Czech republic 
and Slovakia.  You supposedly could not necessarily tell from the QSL for the 
old Czechoslovakia  which portion you worked.

      It was similar for Germany, but reversed, so they deleted East and West 
Germany and made Germany  a new country.

      Name change alone does not make a new country (entity) for ham  radio . 
Upper Volta to Burkino Faso, Gold Coast to Ghana, Burma to Myanmar, etc.
