[Dx-qsl] OX/NA1SA rejected by DXCC desk

[Ron Notarius W3WN]

Well, NT2Y and UN7TER have the same first and last name.  So one might
suspect that if they're not one and the same, they're related... that might
explain why the ops for OX/NA1SA were all Russians.

Of course, the club name for NA1SA, Kosmos Radio Club International "The
World Encyclopedia of Travel" is a pretty good clue too.

Does make one speculate as to why this was done.  Seems a little convoluted,
but there may have been a good reason.

But, publicity about the operation is one thing.  Documenting it is another.
Might want to ask the trustee/QSL manager why the documentation wasn't
submitted.

(Sort of reminds me a few other ops over the years... but let's not go
there.  FWIW, at least they're applying the criteria equally...)

This is an interesting one. My QSL was rejected last month, but QSLs
have been rejected since at least May 2008.

The trustee for NA1SA is NT2Y.

The operators for the OX/NA1SA operation were RW3GW, RW3AH, RA3MR and
UA3MQM. Doesn't it seem odd that 4 Russian operators were using a USA
call on a DXpedition to a third country?

It would be interesting to know why this operation was rejected. There
was much pre-publicity including the planned call and the operators.

I had a similar problem with a German operation to FO several years ago.
He did several other Pacific islands including one of the rare FO
islands which were good, but the plain vanilla FO was not, again 'no
documentation'.

Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got...till it's
gone.
