[Dx-qsl] Mount Athos SV/A

[Stan, KB6RQZ via DX-QSL]

My understanding is that SV1RP  had what looks like a licence  from Greek 
authorities
and from the Koutloumousiou Monastery but not  "Permission" from Monk 
Apollo. SV1RP was not trying to  fool  anyone. I am not speaking against Monk 
Apollo just his way of conducting how/who  gets to operate from Mount Athos. I 
do understand that's the way it is and I  need to work Him to get credit for 
SV/A.
 
SV/A - MOUNT ATHOS
Several sources report that SV1RP, George, has  gone
back to Athens earlier than originally expected. He had
been  operating as SV2/SV1RP/T from the
Koutloumousiou Monastery on Mount Athos,  reportedly
training some local Amateur Radio operators. Yes
SV2ASP, Monk  Apollo, is not the only Amateur Radio
operator in Mount Athos. Last Monday  George was
supposed to have been "operating normally", however
for some  reason he stopped transmitting. He was
supposed to be there until Wednesday  June 17th. It
would appear he had a license from Greek authorities
and  from the Koutloumousiou Monastery, but possibly
not a "permit from the Holy  supervision of Mt. Athos",

Some  thing need to be clear. I don't know if SV1RP had any kind of 
license but  it is sure that he had not the right one: a license from the 
Holy Council.  This is what ARRL asks and what Mount Athos asks from 
radio operators who  want to operate from there. I don't like the fact 
that you speak against  Monk Apollo (who is the only one on the air from 
there) but not against  SV1RP who operated without the right license (or 
any license?) fooling the  world ham radio community...
By the way there are more than 10 monks who  are ham radio operators, but 
for several reasons they don't  operate.
