[EIDXA] FJ/OH2AM

[Jim Spencer]

This is from the Radio-Club de Paris.  Anyone have an idea what it means? 
This seemed like a simple one although I know some think the starting date 
should have been in February.  This says the operation was not properly 
authorized.

DXing is sure fun!

Happy New Year

73,  Jim  W0SR

Object : Examination of the validation criteria of the dxpedition « 
FJ/OH2AM » at Saint
Bartholomew from 18 to 27 december 2007 by operators « OH2BH » et « OH0XX ».
Dear friends,
It was brought to the attention of ARRL DXCC committee members the 
violations of the
regulations French-CEPT TR/61-01 (sections 2.3 and 3.1) and hence the 
requirement for
validation of an expedition settlement of the DXCC ( article III.1), by 
amateur radio
"FJ/OH2AM" from 18 to 27.12.2007 at St Bartholomew.
The verification of the evidence submitted was obtained from the following 
sources:
ERO
Bureau européen des radiocommunications,
Peblingehus, Nansensgade 19,
DK-1366 Copenhague, Danemark.
Ministère des Postes et Communications électroniques / MINEFE / DGE

There would be appear to the DXCC Committee members that these elements are 
likely
not to validate this activity "FJ/OH2AM" under regulations established by 
the committee.
With my best 73

I. Infringements CEPT TR / 61-01
I.1
Use a call sign that the operator does not hold in the country of origin
He was employed by two operators « OH2AM »instead of their home call sign 
that they
own in their country of origin, namely « OH2BH » and « OH0XX ». It is a 
violation of
section 2.3 of the the CEPT TR 61-01 Nicosia 2003 which states:
«2.3 When transmitting in the visited country the licence holder must use 
his national call
sign preceded by the call sign prefix of the visited country as indicated in 
Appendices II and IV.
The call sign prefix and the national call sign must be separated by the 
character "/" (telegraphy) or
the word "stroke" (telephony). »

« Hello,
I can assure you in response to your question that the use of a code other 
than the one assigned to
his country of origin by his administration is not allowed.
Greetings

It is known to the committee DXCC it is a criminal offense to clear 
regulatory French
national, non-compliance with statutory requirements under Article L33-3 
code postal
and electronic communications, with penalties under Article L39-1 code 
postal and
electronic communications that are applicable. It was not desired by the 
local radio
undermine the judiciary to both foreign visitors.
I.2
Use a call sign not have a reciprocity CEPT TR 61-01
The prefix used "OH2AM" is awarded to a Radio-Club.
http://oh-callbook.sral.fi/?call=oh2am&name=&addr=&zip=&city=&class=&lang=EN
The indicative Radio-Club not receiving reciprocity CEPT. It is a breach of 
section 3.1 of
the english version of the CEPT TR 61/01, which states:
« 3. 1 The equivalence between the CEPT licence and national licences in 
CEPT countries is given in Appendix
II.»
Only licenses OH Class Y, P and T are CEPT. C licenses out side Finland are 
not allowed.
II. Offense criteria for validation program DXCC
The rules for accreditation of DXCC in his point III.1 have not been met.
The settlement of DXCC, in his point III.1 shows:
« Conversely, findings by a host government indicating non-compliance with 
their
amateur radio regulations may cause denial or revocation of accreditation. »
As a result of non-compliance with applicable regulations Radio France, in 
sections 2.3
and 3.1 of CEPT TR 61-01, it is requested that the committee DXCC not 
validate the
activity « FJ/OH2AM » by the strict application of Article III.1.
III. Confusion among radio amateurs on the source codes
It appears in the callbook Finnish legibly:
http://oh-callbook.sral.fi/?call=oh2am&name=&addr=&zip=&city=&class=&lang=EN
The station OH2AM is a radio-club and not an individual.
Or even not to disguise the fraudulent use of an indicative radio-club that 
the information
contained on the website QRZ.COM were changed the day before the start of 
the
operation, which is December 17 by the qsl manager OH2BN?
The holder of OH2AM is shown with the same references as the holder of 
OH2BN, billed
as QSL manager of this activity.
If we were even more evidence to the committee DXCC the ARRL to be believed, 
one can
only wonder about the reasons that led this indicative Radio-Club to 
suddenly become
that of a natural person, qsl manager this expedition?
Conclusion
It is illegal in France to use the prefix "FJ/OH2AM" whether a radio-club or 
absence of the
operator « OH2AM » or « OH2BN » who was not on the spot.
This was indeed the case because the operators were at St Bartholomew 
holders stations
« OH2BH » and « OH0XX ».
It would be desirable, given the very strong feelings raised by the 
conditions of this
activity, the committee's DXCC the ARRL does not endorse a breach of the 
French
legislation and thus its own rule III.1 of DXCC Award.
It is requested that the committee DXCC the ARRL not validate the activity 
"FJ/OH2AM."
It is requested that the committee DXCC that the first operation "FJ" valid 
under the new
country DXCC No. 338 is that of "FJ5KH" Radio-Club of St. Bartholomew.
