The Daily DX has learned today the International Telecommunication Union
(ITU) announced the official callsign allocation prefix for the
fledgling nation of the Republic of South Sudan, which joined the United
Nations (UN) on July 14 at 1400Z.  The 193rd member of the UN has been
assigned the callsign prefix block Z8A through Z8Z.  The ARRL added
country number 341 to the ARRL DXCC list and the first and only
DXpedition to South Sudan was that of ST0R during late July and early
August of last year.
